...Y. Qiu; M. M. Khonsari A mass-conservative algorithm that implements the Jakobsson–Floberg–Olsson cavitation theory is used to predict the performances of seal-like structures and thrust bearings with a dimpled surface texture. The results of a series of simulations for load-carrying capacity, film...
