1D Step Bearing
Model ID: 13899

This benchmark model computes the load-carrying capacity of a one dimensional hydrodynamic step bearing. The results are compared with analytic expressions obtained by solving the Reynolds equations directly in this simple case.



1D Step Bearing Maximum dimensionless pressure vs dimensionless gap height for a step bearing. The three curves are for different values of the fraction along the bearing at which the step lies, ns.
