Numerical investigation for characteristics and oil–air distributions of oil film in a tilting-pad journal bearing

Abstract: This paper analyzes the effects of air in the oil film of a tilting-pad journal bearing on oil–air distributions and characteristics. With a gaseous cavitation model and shear stress transport model with low-Re correction included, the air backflow from the outlet boundary is analyzed in numerical simulations of a titling-pad journal bearing at 3000 r/min rotation speed and under 180 kN load. The simulated bearing load, pressure, and mechanical loss are in good accordance with the experimental data, indicating… Show more

“…Under different static loads, the pads in the tilting-pad journal bearing tilt around the pivots because of moments. Taking the previous flow simulation results [28][29][30][31][32] into consideration, the moments normal to the rotational direction is negligible and the moment in the rotational direction is predominant. Thus, to simplify the simulation, only the moment and tilt in the rotational direction is taken into consideration.…”

“…Apart from the pad motions, the rotor motions should also be taken into consideration in various static loads. According to the previous simulation results, [28][29][30][31][32] the force on rotor is almost in the load direction and equals to the difference between the lubricant force on rotor and the rotor load. As the rotor motion is caused by the force on the rotor, only the rotor motion and force in the load direction are taken into consideration.…”
