Abstract

A mixed lubrication model is developed to investigate the lubrication of coupled journal-thrust-bearing systems. The governing equations are mapped into a computational domain with a conformal mapping technique developed in a previous study by Wang et al. (2002). In order to study the influence of the boundary conditions on the performance of the bearing system, either the Reynolds boundary conditions or the JFO’s mass conserving conditions are applied to the governing Reynolds equations. The performance of a typical coupled journal-thrust bearing system is numerically investigated and the effects of viscosity, misalignment angle and feeding scheme are discussed.
