A theoretical solution is presented to predict the steady-state performance characteristics of aerostatic porous journal bearings of finite thickness considering three dimensional flow in the porous media. The analysis takes into account the velocity slip at the film bearing interface by using Beavers-Joseph criterion. Results are presented in dimensionless form for load capacity and mass rate of flow for different operating conditions and bearing dimensions. Solution is also obtained for modified slip velocity conditions and both the results are compared. It is observed that there is no agreement between two models except for few values of slip parameters. Hence, it is preferable to use the Beavers-Joseph model in order to account for all values of slip parameters. The effect of slip velocity on the static characteristics is discussed.

A generalized solution is presented in order to predict the steady-state performance characteristics of aerostatic porous rectangular thrust bearings of finite pad thickness. The analysis takes into account the Beavers-Joseph criterion for velocity slip at the bearing interface, the anisotropy of the porous material and the tilt of the bearing. Dimensionless load capacity, mass flowrate of the gas and static stiffness are computed numerically for different operating parameters and bearing dimensions and presented in the form of design charts. The effect of slip is to reduce the load capacity and increase the mass rate of flow.

A theoretical analysis is presented to predict the steady state performance characteristics of externally pressurized rotating gas journal bearings incorporating the effect of velocity slip at the porous interface. The governing equation for flow in the porous media and the modified Reynolds equation derived from the Navier-Stokes equations satisfying the velocity slip boundary condition, are solved simultaneously for film pressure distribution. Due to the nonlinearity of modified Reynolds equation the solution is obtained by perturbation method using finite difference technique. The dimensionless load capacity, attitude angle and mass rate of flow are computed numerically for different operating parameters. The effect of slip on the static characteristic is discussed. Comparison of the results with similar available solution for the no-slip case shows good agreement.

The objective of the present article is to theoretically investigate the static performance characteristics of rough porous hydrodynamic journal bearings of finite width with the effect of slip flow at the porous-film interface on the basis of the Beavers-Joseph criterion. In the analysis, the roughness is uniformly distributed over the bearing surfaces, with no preferred position or direction in the surface. With the concept of a stochastic process for the isotropic roughness patterns, the steady-state performance characteristics in terms of load capacity, end flowrate, and frictional parameters are obtained at different parameters of practical importance by solving simultaneously the continuity equation of flow in the porous bush and the Reynolds-type equation using the finite difference techniques. According to the results obtained, this analysis reveals that the influence of roughness on the steady-state performance of the journal bearing is physically apparent and not negligible.

A theoretical analysis of the steady-state characteristics of finite hydrostatic double-layered porous journal bearings dealing with the effects of slip flow at the fine porous layer–film interface and percolation of additives into pores under the coupled stress fluid lubrication is presented. Based on the Beavers–Joseph’s criterion for slip flow, the modified Reynolds equation applicable to finite porous journal bearings lubricated with coupled stress fluids have been derived. The governing equations for flow in the coarse and fine layers of porous medium incorporating the percolation of polar additives of lubricant and the modified Reynolds equation are solved simultaneously using finite difference method satisfying appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the steady-state performance characteristics for various parameter namely percolation factor, slip coefficient, bearing feeding parameter, coupled stress parameter, and eccentricity ratio. The results are exhibited in the form of graphs, which may be useful for design of such bearing.

The aim of this paper is to address the effect of misalignment of the double-layered porous journal bearing on the steady-state performance analysis under coupled-stress lubrication with velocity phenomenon at the fine porous interface. Here, the misalignment caused by shaft displacement, e.g. axial (vertical displacement) and twisting (horizontal displacement) is considered. This analysis includes velocity slip phenomenon on the basis of Beavers-Joseph criteria. Moreover, the present analysis also focuses on the percolation effect of the additives into the pores of the porous layers. Steady-state film pressures are obtained by solving the modified Reynolds equation based on the coupled-stress lubrication theory. Under various parametric conditions, pressure profiles in the film region are discussed and demonstrated in the graphical form. Using these film pressure values, steady-state characteristics in terms of bearing load carrying capacity, attitude angle, frictional parameter, side leakage and misalignment moment are evaluated at various parametric conditions and represented in the graphical form.

Nowadays, tilting-pad journal bearings are submitted to more and more severe operating conditions. The aim of this work is to study the thermal and mechanical behavior of the bearing during the transient period from an initial steady state to a final steady state (periodic). In order to study the behavior of this kind of bearing under dynamic loading (Fdyn) due to a blade loss, a nonlinear analysis, including local thermal effects, realistic boundary conditions, and bearing solid deformations (TEHD analysis) is realized. After a comparison between theoretical results obtained with four models (ISO, ADI, THD, and TEHD) and experimental data under steady-state operating conditions (static load Ws), the evolution of the main characteristics for three different cases of the dynamic load (Fdyn/Ws < 1, Fdyn/Ws = 1 and Fdyn//Ws > 1) is discussed. The influence of the transient period on the minimum film thickness, the maximum pressure, the maximum temperature, and the shaft orbit is presented. The final steady state is obtained a long time after the appearance of a dynamic load.

A theoretical analysis of the steady-state and dynamic characteristics of multi-recess hybrid oil journal bearings is presented. A perturbation theory for small vibrations is used to solve an incompressible, finite journal bearing with a time-dependent term. Load capacity, attitude angle, friction parameter, stiffness and damping coefficients are evaluated for a capillary-compensated bearing.

The objective of the present investigation is to study theoretically, using the finite-difference techniques, the dynamic performance characteristics of finite-hydrodynamic porous journal bearings lubricated with coupled stress fluids. In the analysis based on the Stokes micro-continuum theory of the rheological effects of coupled stress fluids, a modified form of Reynolds equation governing the transient-state hydrodynamic film pressures in porous journal bearings with the effect of slip flow of coupled stress fluid as lubricant is obtained. Moreover, the tangential velocity slip at the surface of porous bush has been considered by using Beavers-Joseph criterion. Using the first-order perturbation of the modified Reynolds equation, the stability characteristics in terms of threshold stability parameter and whirl ratios are obtained for various parameters viz. permeability factor, slip coefficient, bearing feeding parameter, and eccentricity ratio. The results show that the coupled stress fluid exhibits better stability in comparison with Newtonian fluid.

Nowadays, modeling gas flows in the slip flow regime through microchannels can be achieved using commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics codes. In this regime the Navier-Stokes equations with appropriate boundary conditions are still valid. A simulation procedure has been developed for the modeling of thermal creep flow using ANSYS Fluent®. The implementation of the boundary conditions is achieved by developing User Defined Functions (UDFs) by means of C++ routines. The complete first order velocity slip boundary condition, including the thermal creep effects due to an axial temperature gradient and the effect of the wall curvature, and the temperature jump boundary condition are applied. Motivation of the present work is the development of a simulation tool which will help in the pre-calculations and the preliminary design of a Knudsen micropump consisting of successively connected curved and straight channels and in a second step in the numerical optimization of the pump, in terms of geometrical parameters and operating conditions of the system.

The note compares recently published versions of the governing gas film equations for slip-flow and turbulent flow with Reynolds equation for laminar flow. The comparison shows how approximate values of steady-state and dynamic performance parameters may be deduced for the new conditions from existing data.
