The paper carries out a detailed summary of water-lubricated bearings from five typical
aspects: the lubrication regime, the fluid-solid interaction (FSI), the thermal effect, the …

Traditional analysis of journal bearings assumed a constant viscosity which simplified the
solutions for static and dynamic characteristics and responses. Today's high-performance …

Computational methods were used to analyse the elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication of a
complex rotor–bearing system. The methodology employed computational fluid dynamics …

The non-uniform distributed tilting-pad journal bearing (NDTPJB), designed for large
megawatt wind turbine main shafts, has not been assessed for transient stability under …

The novelty of this paper is to numerically investigate the effect of manufacturing error and
misalignment on the transient lubrication behavior of dynamically loaded journal bearings …

This contribution presents the development of a general discretization scheme for the
solution of Reynolds equation with a mass-conserving cavitation model and its application …

The continuous demand for higher power density leads to a very challenging operational
environment for sliding bearings regarding pressures and deformations. Understanding of …

In modern marine diesel engines, power output and in-cylinder firing pressures are
constantly increasing, leading to higher friction in engine components and especially in the …

Purpose Water lubrication is significant for its environmental friendliness. Composite journal
bearing is liable to deform for the huge pressure of water film. This paper aims to study the …

Although offset-halves journal bearings (OHJBs) are extensively utilized in the marine
powertrain, there is little research on nonlinear dynamic response and transient stability …
