Literature review of tilting pad and turbulent hydrostatic journal bearings for nuclear main coolant pumps

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6015764

Literature on the dynamic and static operating characteristics of tilting-pad and turbulent hydrostatic journal bearings is reviewed. Experimental and theoretical work as well as applications in which these bearings were used in a dynamical analysis of the rotor/bearing system are included. Journal bearings receive considerable use in the nuclear power industry such bearings in a reactor main coolant pump are considered herein.
