TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of geometric imperfections of journal on the performance of micropolar lubricated 4-pocket hybrid journal bearing was theoretically described and numerically simulated results were presented for different forms of geometric irregularities of journal such as barrel shape, bellmouth shape, circumferential undulations along with the ideal shape for both the Newtonian and micropolic lubricant.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of journal's geometric imperfections on the performance of a capillary compensated two-lobe hybrid journal bearing system was investigated, and numerically simulated results indicated that non-circularity of bearing and barrel shape irregularity significantly increase the values of S¯zz,C¯zz and ω¯th by a factor 36.47, 51.34 and 18.52%, respectively, with respect to the base bearing (circular ideal journal bearing) operating with non-Newtonian lubricant.
Abstract: The present paper investigates the influence of journal’s geometric imperfections on the performance of capillary compensated two-lobe hybrid journal bearing system. Different geometric imperfections of journal, viz. barrel, bellmouth and circumferential waviness have been included in the study. A parameter called offset factor has been included in the analysis which distinguishes between two lobe and circular journal bearing. Further, the Reynolds equation has been modified by using power law model in order to deal with non-Newtonian effect of the lubricant. The numerically simulated results indicate that non-circularity of bearing and barrel shape irregularity significantly increase the values of S¯zz,C¯zz and ω¯th by a factor 36.47, 51.34 and 18.52%, respectively, with respect to the base bearing (circular ideal journal bearing) operating with non-Newtonian lubricant.
