Abstract

By adopting the non-linear theory proposed by Elrod and Ng, the generalized Navier-Stokes equations were modified and solved numerically for the flow field in the clearance space of a journal bearing. The performance characteristics of a finite circular hydrodynamic bearing (aspect ratio L/D = 1) were studied in terms of the Sommerfeld number, attitude angle, oil flow, friction coefficient and temperature rise parameter at various eccentricities for Reynolds' numbers up to 13 300.
