Effects of operation parameters on the noise of the compound textured journal bearing are analyzed using computation fluid dynamic method and broadband noise source theory. After a three-dimensional model of the compound textured bearing is established, the lubrication performances of the bearing are compared under the isothermal and thermal situations. Further, the noise performances of the textured and smooth bearings are studied at the varied operation parameter. Numerical results show that appropriately decreasing the eccentricity ratio or rotational speed can reduce the noise of the compound textured bearing. Moreover, there is a critical length–diameter ratio of the bearing for suppressing the noise of the compound textured bearing. A part of the above conclusions is also verified experimentally.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
