Numerical Study on Characteristics of Lead-Bismuth Lubricated Hydrodynamic Bearing Considering Non-Condensable Gas
Lead-Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) is an interesting candidate as a coolant for Generation IV nuclear power plants.Lead-bismuth lubricated radial guide bearing is the key component of the mechanical pump in a lead-bismuth coolant system.In this paper, the transient calculation model of multiphase lubrication flow field of journal bearing is established by
