Abstract
The article describes the development and a subsequent application of a computational model for effective and fast simulations of the turbocharger rotordynamics in time domains. The simulation tool consists of two basic models which are described in the article. The rotor is modelled as a flexible structure based on the nonlinear beam approach suitable for an effective solution in the time domain. The computational model also incorporates radial and axial bearing models. Theoretical background of the inovative journal bearing computational models, based on the numerical solution of the Reynolds equation, is presented. The capabilities of the simulation and sample results are demonstrated on a middle size turbocharger rotor supported by fully floating ring bearings.
