Development of a method of hydrodynamic calculations of thrust bearings with dual layer lubrication in non-stationary friction mode
It is shown a method for forming an exact self-similar solution to the problem with the thrust bearing support surface adapted profile, working on two-layer lubrication in the non-stationary regime of time. Obtained velocity field and pressure in the lubricant layers, it is given the estimation of influence of viscosity and density relations of layers, as well as parameters describing an adapted profile, the amplitude and frequency perturbation imposed on a constant crosshead speed.
