Abstract
This paper is a review of the literature about CFD modeling and analysis of journal, thrust, and aerostatic bearings; the advantages and disadvantages of each are specified, and the bearing problems that have been analyzed are discussed to improve their designs and performance. A CFD transient analysis of journal bearings was conducted using the dynamic mesh method together with movement algorithms while keeping a structured mesh of a good quality in the ANSYS Fluent software to determine the equilibrium position of the journal and calculate the dynamic coefficients. Finally, areas of opportunity for analyzing and designing fluid film bearings to improve their performance are proposed.
期刊介绍:
Machines (ISSN 2075-1702) is an international, peer-reviewed journal on machinery and engineering. It publishes research articles, reviews, short communications and letters. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided. There are, in addition, unique features of this journal: *manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed *electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure - if unable to be published in a normal way - can be deposited as supplementary material Subject Areas: applications of automation, systems and control engineering, electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, mechatronics, robotics, industrial design, human-machine-interfaces, mechanical systems, machines and related components, machine vision, history of technology and industrial revolution, turbo machinery, machine diagnostics and prognostics (condition monitoring), machine design.
