The Thermal Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Analysis of Seawater-Lubricated Thordon Bearing

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on Reynolds equation, the numerical simulation of thermal elstohydronamic lubrication for seawater-lubricated thordon bearing was carried out, the effects of the load, the speed and the shaft diameter on the pressure and the film thickness were discussed. The results show that thermal effect has little effect on the pressure, but the film thickness under the thermal condition is smaller than isothermal. The pressure peak is increased and the film thickness is decreased greatly with the increase of load. The pressure peak is decreased and the film thickness is increased greatly with the increase of speed.
