Stick-Slip Whirl Interaction in Drillstring Dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, a stick-slip whirl model is presented which is a simplification of an oilwell drillstring confined in a borehole with drilling fluid, and the disappearance of stickslip vibration when whirl vibration appears is explained by bifurcation theory.

Whirl and whip instabilities in rotor-bearing system considering a nonlinear force model

TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear hydrodynamic model is considered for short bearing and laminar flow, and the effects of unbalance, journal bearing parameters and rotor arrangement (vertical or horizontal) on the instability threshold are verified.

Stability of whirl and whip in rotor/bearing systems

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the rotor self-excited vibrations (known as oil whirl and oil whip) due to fluid dynamic forces generated in the oil-lubricated bearing, can exhibit multiple regimes.

Total instability of turbocharger rotors—Physical explanation of the dynamic failure of rotors with full-floating ring bearings

TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of turbocharger rotors with full-floating ring bearings is investigated and a sound physical explanation of the total instability is given, which can be physically explained as synchronization of two limit cycles, namely, synchronization of the inner and outer oil whirl/whip of the floating ring bearings.

Effects of Hydraulic Forces in Annular Pressure Seals on the Vibrations of Centrifugal Pump Rotors

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of squeeze action on the annular clearance spaces of the leakage path of a single mass rotor was analyzed. But the effect on the acceleration of the bearing and journal surfaces was not considered.

Method of and device for avoiding rotor instability to enhance dynamic power limit of turbines and compressors

TL;DR: A method of and device for avoiding rotor instability and increasing the dynamic power limit of rotary fluid machines such as turbines and compressors which have contact free seals in the gaps between the rotating and nonrotating elements of the machine is presented in this paper.
