Abstract: This paper studies the impact of surface roughness on the start-up properties of water-lubricated bearings (WLB) in energy recovery turbochargers. By combining the Weierstrass–Mandelbrot function, water-film thickness equation, Greenwood–Tripp contact model, and averaged Reynolds equation,… read more here.
