Hydrostatic and Hydrodynamic Bearings

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue "Hydrostatic and Hydrodynamic Bearings" of the journal Lubricants aims to offer a platform to researchers for sharing their latest, innovative, and original studies about hydrostatic and hydrodynamic bearings. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome.

We welcome both review articles and original research that offer theoretical insights, groundbreaking experimental studies, and innovative computational methods. Such contributions will advance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms across multiple scales. We also invite submissions featuring novel applications that challenge and extend the current frontiers of the field. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses topics including stability, lubrication, structure design, and performance optimization of all kinds of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic bearings. We sincerely invite experts and scholars in the field to contribute their manuscripts, and this Special Issue would be honored to have the opportunity to present your latest research findings to the wider audience.
