...Yan Li; Yanqiang Ning; Desheng Zhang; Yinhe Zhi A model is proposed to describe and analyze hydrodynamic bearings with circumferential parallel arranged grooves along any arbitrary groove curve. The Reynolds equation is solved with finite volume method, and the additional terms of the discretized...

... and wavy motion, natural frequencies, damping ratios, and modal shape-node line. We found that a design with grooves distributed on a trailing pad effectively improved the slider’s damping ratio in the second pitch mode; however, parametric studies revealed that the damping ratio was dependent...
