Even though the list of references associated with this review is rather extensive, in no way does it exhaust the vast literature dedicated to the study of cavitation. The intent was to summarize (i) advances in analytical and numerical modelling, (ii) draw attention to the thermodynamic aspects of cavitation, and (iii) do so while reflecting on physical or experimental observations.

Review of the Concept of Dynamic Coefficients for Fluid Film Journal Bearings

The dynamic bearing coefficients are obtained from a solution to the variational equivalent of Reynolds equation. A perturbation method is applied to find the individual dynamic coefficients. The Finite Element Method is used in the numerical evaluation of the equations. The flow is assumed to be laminar, the lubricant is Newtonian. Allowance is made for viscosity-temperature dependency in circumferential and axial directions.

An Approximate Analysis of the Temperature Conditions in a Journal Bearing. Part II: Application

An analysis is presented for solving the energy equation for a journal bearing film, coupled with the heat conduction equation for the bearing sleeve. The analysis approximates the temperature profile across the film thickness by a fourth order polynomial while the circumferential temperature variation is expressed in terms of a Fourier series expansion. The solution gives the temperatures of the journal, the bearing sleeve, and the lubricant film from which the viscosity distribution can be obtained for use in solving Reynold’s equation. Because the method is quite economic in computer time it should prove useful in practical calculations of journal bearing performance.
