“…When the textured surface is applied to the bearing, cavitation may develop, lowering or enhancing lubrication performance depending on the texturing settings. Because cavitation has a substantial impact on hydrodynamic pressure, the cavitation model should be incorporated in the analysis [15].…”

In journal bearing modeling, the phenomenon of cavitation is very important to improve the accuracy of the simulation results. This is because cavitation will almost certainly occur because there are convergent and divergent geometries. The results of the simulation will be close to real conditions so that it can have a positive effect on researchers in order to design optimal journal bearings. The effect of modeling without cavitation and with cavitation on journal bearing modeling has a great influence on the lubrication performance of journal bearings. In modeling with cavitation, the maximum hydrodynamic pressure and load carrying capacity that the journal bearing is capable of relying on has a fairly rapid increase. The modeling results also relate to the friction force that occurs in the journal bearing. The aim of the present study is to explore the effect of inclusion of modeling of the Hydrodynamic pressure. The finite volume method based on software is used to compare the result with and without cavitation. Here, The mixture multiphase cavitation is adopted. The numerical result show t he effect of modelling without cavitation and with cavitation on journal bearing modelling has a great influence on the lubrication performance of journal bearings. In modelling with cavitation, the maximum hydrodynamic pressure and load cmarrying capacity that the journal bearing is capable of relying on has a fairly rapid increase. The modelling results also relate to the friction force that occurs in the journal bearing.
