A bearing housing of a hydrodynamic foil bearing assembly has an opening for allowing flow of a fluid into the bearing housing. Also included in the a hydrodynamic foil bearing assembly is at least one foil having at least one opening and defining a cylindrical hollow space for receiving a rotating shaft therein. Fluid is supplied from the opening of the bearing housing to a gap between the at least one foil and the rotating shaft through the at least one opening of the at least one foil to form a pressurized fluid film therein. |
