Abstract
Under conditions of high sliding speed, the lubricant film in hydrodynamic bearings becomes turbulent, and large errors can occur if analysis and design are then based on the commonly used laminar theories.
One method of taking into account turbulence in the oil film is to use a modified form of Reynolds equation. Such an equation tins been used to produce dimensionless performance data for journal bearings with two axial grooves.
These data are presented in graphical form in order to give a direct appreciation of the effects of turbulence on dimensionless characteristics and also in tabular form to permit the data to be incorporated into full design procedures.
