Magnetohydrodynamic lubrication flow between parallel rotating disks
W. F. Hughes,R. A. Elco +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the motion of an electrically conducting, incompressible, viscous fluid in the presence of a magnetic field is analyzed for flow between two parallel disks, one of which rotates at a constant angular velocity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetohydrodynamic pressurization of liquid metal bearings
R.A. Elco,W. F. Hughes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of the magnetohydrodynamic bearing was introduced and two types of bearings were analyzed: a hydrostatic thrust bearing with an axial current induced pinch and an infinite inclined slider with an applied magnetic field parallel to the bearing surface and perpendicular to the direction of motion of the slider.
Journal ArticleDOI
The magnetohydrodynamic inclined slider bearing with a transverse magnetic field
TL;DR: In this article, the magnetohydrodynamic inclined slider bearing is analyzed under general electrical loading conditions, where the magnetic field is applied normal to the bearing surface, and the external electrical circuit is assumed to be fixed in either the slider or bearing.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Adiabatic Couette Flow of a Compressible Fluid
W. F. Hughes,J. Fletcher Osterle +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an untersuchung wurde durchgefuhrt uber die adiabatische Stromung der Luft zwischen zwei parallelen Platten, bei einem Druckunterschied quer uber die sich bewegende Platte.
