Comparison of Different Hydrodynamic Bearings
Introduction
This example compares the load bearing abilities of different hydrodynamic bearings. The simulation is performed using the Rotordynamics Module’s Hydrodynamic Bearing interface. This interface solves the Reynolds equation to compute the pressure developed in a thin fluid film for different bearing types. The bearings included in this example are of cylindrical, elliptical, split-halves, and multilobe type (2, 3, and 4 lobes).
Model Definition
Eight bearings are compared: one each of cylindrical, elliptical, and split-halves type, and five different multilobe bearings. The latter are one two-lobe bearing and two three-lobe and four-lobe bearings. The two three-lobe bearings differ from each other in their relative orientation with respect to the applied load direction, as do the two four-lobe bearings.
The journals rotate inside the bearing with an angular speed of Ω (rad/s). The static position of the journal is obtained such that the net force due to the fluid film in the horizontal direction is zero whereas that in the vertical direction balances the journal weight, W.
The bearing configuration is shown in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: Bearing configuration. Top row: Cylindrical, elliptical, split halves, two-lobe. Bottom row: Three-lobe (LOP), three-lobe (LBP), four-lobe (LOP), four-lobe (LBP).
On the fluid side, the parameters needed for the computation are the dynamic viscosity, the density at cavitation pressure, and the compressibility. The fluid parameters, whose values are summarized in Table 1, are close to those of lubricating oils used in real bearings.

Bearing Data
The maximum and minimum clearance, Cmax and Cmin, respectively, of all the bearings are set to the same values in order to make them equivalent.
The initial clearance, hb, assuming that the journal is located at the center of the bearing, is listed in Table 2.

The objective is to obtain various parameters in Table 2 for different bearings by setting maximum and minimum values to Cmax and Cmin, respectively. The following sections provide these expressions.
Cylindrical Bearing
Because the initial thickness is uniform, the best choice of C for the cylindrical bearing is C = (Cmax + Cmin)/2.
Elliptical Bearing
The maximum and minimum clearance Cmax and Cmin are known.
Split-halves Bearing
For split-halves bearings, Cmin = C − d, Cmax = C + d, from which one finds C = (Cmax + Cmin)/2 and d = (Cmax − Cmin)/2.
Multilobe Bearings
For multilobe bearings, Cmax = C + d and Cmin = C + d cos(π/N).
Hence, it follows that C = (Cmin − cos(π/N)Cmax)/(1 − cos(π/N)), and d = (Cmax − Cmin)/(1 − cos(π/N)).
Results and Discussion
Figure 2 below shows the fluid pressure profile on the bearing.
Figure 2: Fluid-film pressure profile.
Several results from the simulation provide valuable information about bearing performance. Figure 3 shows a plot of journal eccentricity versus load. The journals that exhibit lower eccentricity are the better ones. From the plot, it seems that the split-halves and 3-lobe LBP (load between pad) bearings have optimum eccentricity in the operating range. For loads higher than 5000 N, the 4-lobe bearing with load on pad (LOP) has the largest eccentricity, while the 4-lobe LBP has the smallest one. The performances of the other bearings lie somewhere in between.
Figure 3: Eccentricity vs. load.
The equilibrium position of the journals is shown in Figure 4 with increasing load W. The y-coordinate of the journal position is plotted on the x-axis, and the z-coordinate is plotted on the y-axis. When the load W is small, all journals tend to move more in the y direction while the movement in the z direction is small. However, as the load increases, they move significantly in the negative z direction and touch the bottom part of the bearing. In the hydrodynamic bearing, two types of forces act on the journal. One, a radial force due to the pressure distribution in the film and other, a tangential viscous force due to the shear in the film. The journal equilibrium position depends on the relative magnitude of these forces. If the shear force is dominant and is enough to support the weight of the journal, equilibrium position is more toward the horizontal direction. For a large journal weight, shear force alone cannot support the journal and a radial force is also needed. In such a case, journal equilibrium position will move in the negative z direction.
Figure 4: Journal position.
Figure 5 shows the plot of the fluid thickness profile when the journal is concentric with the bearing. The geometric parameters of bearings are set in such a way that the minimum and maximum clearances are the same for all bearings except for the cylindrical bearing, which is kept at the mean position.
Figure 5: Initial thickness profile.
Figure 6 shows a plot of the steady-state (current) thickness profile of the fluid.

In Figure 7, the fluid-film pressure profiles is unwrapped from the bearing surface and the resulting surface is compared between the eight different bearing types. Similarly, Figure 8 compares the unwrapped velocity fields.

Notes About the COMSOL Implementation
In the computation, use an Auxiliary sweep study extension on the load applied by the journal on the bearing to automatically run a loop over the parameter. The Auxiliary sweep functionality is activated in the study step settings.
