Experimental Measurement of the Dynamic Pressure Distribution in a Squeeze-Film Bearing Damper Executing Circular-Centered Orbit

abstract

• A review of previous experimental measurements of squeeze-film damper (SFD) forces is given. Measurements by the authors of SFD pressure fields and force coefficients for circular-centered orbits with = 0.5 are described and compared with computer predictions. For Reynolds numbers over the range 26, the effect of fluid inertia on the pressure fields and forces is found to be significant. 1987 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
