Effect of L/D Ratio on the Performance of a Four-Lobe Pressure Dam Bearing
نویسنده
چکیده
A four-lobe pressure dam bearing which is produced by cutting two pressure dams on the upper two lobes and two relief-tracks on the lower two lobes of an ordinary four-lobe bearing is found to be more stable than a conventional four-lobe bearing. In this paper a four-lobe pressure dam bearing supporting rigid and flexible rotors is analytically investigated to determine its performance when L/D ratio is varied in the range 0.75 to 1.5. The static and dynamic characteristics are studied at various L/D ratios. The results show that the stability of a four-lobe pressure dam bearing increases with decrease in L/D ratios both for rigid as well as flexible rotors. Keywords—Four-lobe pressure dam bearing, finite-element method, L/D ratio.

Effect of turbulence on the performance of an inverted three- lobe Pressure dam bearing
This paper analyzes the effect of turbulence on the performance of an inverted threelobe pressure dam bearing which is produced by incorporating a pressure dam in the upper lobe and two relief tracks in the lower two lobes of an ordinary inverted threelobe bearing. For analysis purpose different values (0, 1500, 3000, and 6000) of Reynolds number are considered to study the effect of turbulence...
