Abstract
The effect of journal misalignment on the predicted performance of a finite grooved journal bearing is analyzed in this paper. The numerical procedure used incorporates a cavitation algorithm, which automatically predicts film rupture and reformation in the bearings. The misalignment considered varies in magnitude and direction with reference to the boundaries of the bearing. In addition to the misalignment, the effect of lubricant starvation at the groove is also considered and compared with flooded inlet conditions. The effects of various degrees of starvation, or higher lubricant supply pressure, bearing length to diameter ratio and groove size are also investigated.
