Abstract To reveal nonlinear dynamic rules of low viscosity fluid-lubricated tilting-pad journal bearings (TPJBs), the effects of design parameters on journal center orbits and dynamic minimum film thicknesses of water-lubricated TPJBs with and without static loads are investigated. The hydrodynamic bearing force used in the nonlinear dynamic analysis is an approximate analytical solution including the turbulence effect. The results reveal the methods for vibration suppression and load capacity improvement and give an optimal pivot offset and clearance ratio that can maximize the minimum film thickness. The results also show that four-pad TPJBs with loads between pads are preferred due to good dynamic performance and load capacity. This study would provide some guidance for nonlinear design of low viscosity fluid-lubricated TPJBs under dynamic loads.

Oscillating flows over periodic ripples are of practical as well as scientific interest because of their relevance to beach processes. When either the ripples are sufficiently steep or the amplitude of ambient oscillations large, streamlines of a viscous flow are no longer parallel to the ripple surface. Circulation cells are formed which can help redistribute suspended sediments. Here we study theoretically these cells for a low-viscosity fluid such as pure water over rigid ripples. In particular we have calculated cells whose dimensions are as large as the ripple wavelength and therefore represent viscous effects far above the usual Stokes boundary layer. An idea of Stuart which was originated for stationary mean circulations around a cylinder is extended here. For large ambient amplitude, large oscillating vortices drifting with the ambient flow are found by seeking the stationary cells in a moving coordinate system.
