The fluid passage includes a first flow path for lubricant into the lubricant supply system and into the squeeze film damper of the bearing assembly and a second flow path for lubricant into the squeeze film damper of the bearing assembly. The lubricant supply system includes a valve assembly configured to allow the fluid passage to move from the first flow path to the second flow path in response to an interruption of the first flow path.
