Abstract

In recent years, a series of researchers have shown that a circumferential feeding groove of a squeeze film damper (SFD) has an evident effect on the forces of fluid film in SFD. Therefore, the feeding groove also affects the dynamic responses of a rotor in SFD. The present work studies the effect of the feeding groove on the unbalance response of a rigid rotor in a squeeze film damper based on the film force models that include effects of the feeding groove and fluid inertia on dynamic characteristics of the fluid film in SFD. Comparisons with the published work show that the feeding groove increases the orbit radius of rotor whirling and affects the unbalance response of a rotor system. The effect of the feeding groove on the unbalance response is also related to the action of fluid inertia.
