.... This study starts with a known solution to the Laplace equation in a cylindrical coordinate system, which is in the form of an infinite summation. A set of analytical solutions to pressure, load capacity, flow rate, and torque loss is derived in this paper for hydrodynamic lubrication problems encountered...

... the pad is taken into account by solving the Laplace equation with convective boundary conditions that are realistic. The runner’s temperature, assumed constant, is determined by imposing a zero value for the global heat flux balance. The constructed model gives the pressure distribution and velocity...
