Abstract

The process of hydrodynamic coating based on the foil bearing method in which the liquid coated on the foil is located in a narrow gap between a fixed surface and the traveling foil is considered. The variability of the foil (substrate) leaving angle and other factors initiate perturbations of the output fluid flow rate and the coating thickness inhomogeneity. A closed system of equations is obtained and steady-state and time-dependent flows are calculated numerically. The perturbation suppression by means of an additional device, namely, a freely rotating plate on the rear edge of the fixed surface, is qualitatively analyzed.
