Abstract:The performance of gas foil thrust bearings is critical to the successful design and operation of the high axial load rotatory machines that employ gas foil bearings. However, our understanding of gas foil thrust bearings remains incomplete. To enhance our understanding and predict the performance of gas foil thrust bearings, we have established a detailed three-dimensional thermo-elastic-hydrodynamic model of a gas foil thrust bearing based on a fluid-thermal-structure interaction approach in this study.
