Abstract: This document calculates and discusses circular groove angle (CGA) affects on journal bearing performance. CFD method has been used for calculate N-S equations and cavitation effect has been considered. The results show that as CGA increases, the maximum pressure is decreased, the capacity and friction moment are also decreased. The maximum pressure position is increased from 1 to 2 when CGA is 180°. This paper will provide a theoretical basis for journal bearing groove optimal design.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the dynamic character coefficient of journal bearing with the consideration of bearing load direction and oil groove. Based on numerical differential method, the oil film pressure distribution on journal bearing is obtained with the point-by-point relaxation iteration method. Then, the dynamic characters are calculated by numerical integral algorithm.The calculation program is developed for the dynamic characteristics of journal bearing. The computation method provides a useful guide for the numerical simulation of rotary parts.
