An isoviscous, isothermal model investigating the influence of hydrostatic recesses on a spring-supported tilting pad thrust bearing☆

TL;DR: In this article, a numerical study of a sector-shaped bearing is performed to understand how recess size and shape can affect the performance of a typical bearing, and an isoviscous, isothermal model is used in this instance because the operating conditions of the turbine in question were shown not to be severe enough to warrant the computational expense of a fully coupled thermoelastic hydrodynamic model.
