Hydrodynamic journal bearings are traditionally designed using the half‐Sommerfeld theory.
This consists in a semi‐analytical solution of the continuity and momentum conservation …

This paper tries to display complete thermo-hydrodynamic research in journal bearings,
investigating the growing pressure and temperature rise inside the bearing during operation …

The current study is basically focused on investigating the possible ways to enhance the
lubricating oil film performance and hence ship energy efficiency of marine journal bearings …

As wind turbine power requirements have evolved from the order of kilowatts (kWs) to the
order of several megawatts (MWs), wind turbine components have been subjected to more …

This work evaluates the influence of the cavitation effects of hydrodynamic journal bearings
on the rotating system dynamic response. Several simulations were performed in order to …

Mineral-based oils are the market leaders when it comes to their consumption in different
types of rotating machines. Recently, a lot of attention has been given to the bio-oils and …

The scope of this article is to examine the effects of thermal expansion (up to seizure) on the
clearance of a hydrodynamic bearing under prescribed operating conditions. This …

In high-speed turbomachinery, the presence of rotor vibrations, which produce undesirable
noise or shaft deflection and losses in performance, has brought up the need for the …

For decades, journal bearings have been designed based on the half-Sommerfeld
equations. The semi-analytical solution of the conservation equations for mass and …

Gas cavitation has significant influence on the performance of oil jet pumps for lubrication
systems in turbo machinery. This study provides a novel approach for identifying gas …
