Study on Flow Characteristics of Cryogenic Hybrid Journal Bearings

In the present study, a flow visualization experiment in the clearance between a clear floating-ring and a rotating journal was carried out in order to clarify the effect of the sweepback angle (θs) of the leading edge of the recess on the flow characteristics. Four types of the floating-r...
