Investigates load capacity improvement in water bearings using microbubbles, suggesting enhanced performance over traditional methods.

To explore the impact of adding microbubbles to water in bearings to improve load capacity.
Conducted CAE analysis to predict load capacity characteristics.
Performed experiments comparing microbubble water bearings, gas bearings, and conventional water bearings.
Measured load capacity under varying conditions with and without microbubbles.
Microbubble water bearings show higher load capacity than traditional water bearings.
Gas bearings demonstrate superior load capacity compared to both water and microbubble water bearings.
Load capacity of microbubble water bearings is effectively between that of water and gas bearings.
