Zusammenfassung:A damper assembly (140) includes a bearing assembly (138) including a radially outer surface (208). A housing (214) surrounds the bearing assembly and includes a radially inner surface (218) facing the radially outer surface. The radially outer and inner surfaces define a plurality of annuli (220) therebetween. The damper assembly further includes a plurality of fluid supplies coupled in flow communication with the plurality of annuli and configured to deliver a fluid to each annulus of the plurality of annuli. Each fluid supply of the plurality of fluid supplies independently controls the fluid within the respective annulus.
