...Shengtong Wang; Ouyang Wu; Zhe Li; Bin Wang Purpose Proposing a new type of water-lubricated thrust bearing meets the load-bearing requirements of high-power shaft-less rim driven thrusters. Design/methodology/approach The designs were tested by establishing a bearing thermal-fluid-magnetic...

...Huihui Feng; Liping Peng Purpose This paper aims to establish the mathematical models for the water-lubricated thrust bearing with groove texture considering turbulence and cavitation and numerically analyze the influence of rotary speed, texture depth, groove number and groove width on the static...
