tailieunhanh - Numerical and experimental study of aerostatic bearings with virtual recesses and multi-hole orifices

Aerostatic bearings are ones which carry loads with nearly frictionless movement, thanks to external supply of pressurized air. The bearing pad and guide surfaces are kept apart and lubricated by a micrometer-thick compressed air film with a load capacity depending mainly on the pressure distribution. The flow of air through the gap complies with the Navier-Stokes equations and conservation of mass and energy. |
