Abstract
Controversy concerning the relative merits of gas journal bearings employing slot and orifice restrictors led to an experimental and theoretical study to determine the relative merits of the two types of bearing. This paper is an interim report on the programme and shows that slot-entry bearings yield greater load capacity at high eccentricity ratios, whilst orifice-compensated bearings have greater stiffness up to ϵ = 0.35.
