“…Hydrodynamic slider bearings are widely used in industries for supporting the axial loads in machineries. Theoretical studies of hydrodynamic lubrication in slider bearings have been carried out by many investigators 1,2) in the past due to ease in its mathematical modeling. In some early works only Reynolds equation was solved in order to compute the bearing performance parameters.…”

Many investigators have frequently assumed polynomial temperature profiles across the film thickness in the mathematical modeling of lubricating films in the hydrodynamic bearings in order to make computations simpler. Thus, to verify the validity of such temperature profile approximations in computations, it is essential to access the accuracy of results achieved with such approximations. In this study two different temperature profile approximations (Legendre polynomial and Parabolic polynomial) across the film thickness in energy equation have been assumed and comparison of computed results with these two temperature approximations have been carried out. The results obtained have been examined for their accuracies. Based on the present analysis, it has been observed that the temperature approximation across the film thickness taken by Legendre polynomial yields more accurate results in comparison to parabolic temperature profile assumption.

The steady state and dynamic characteristics including whirl instability of waterlubricated journal bearings having three axial grooves are obtained theoretically. The Reynolds equation is solved numerically by the ®nite difference method satisfying the appropriate boundary conditions. The dynamic behaviour in terms of stiffness and damping coef®cients of ®lm and stability are found using a ®rst-order perturbation method. It has been shown that both load capacity and stability improve when smaller groove angles are used.
