Problem 24P
Consider the slipper-pad bearing of Prob. 10-24. (a) Generate a characteristic scale for v, the y-component of velocity. (b) Perform an order-of-magnitude analysis to compare the inertial terms to the pressure and viscous terms in the x-momentum equation. Show that when the gap is small (h 0 ≪ L) and the Reynolds number is small (Re = pV0p≪1), the creeping flow approximation is appropriate, (c) Show that when h 0 ≪ L, the creeping flow equation may still be appropriate even if the Reynolds number (Re = ρVh 0/μ) is not less than 1.
