Static characteristics of hydrostatic doubled-layered porous journal bearings with slip flow including additives percolation into pores under coupled stress lubrication

Abstract

A theoretical analysis of the steady-state characteristics of finite hydrostatic double-layered porous journal bearings dealing with the effects of slip flow at the fine porous layer–film interface and percolation of additives into pores under the coupled stress fluid lubrication is presented. Based on the Beavers–Joseph’s criterion for slip flow, the modified Reynolds equation applicable to finite porous journal bearings lubricated with coupled stress fluids have been derived. The governing equations for flow in the coarse and fine layers of porous medium incorporating the percolation of polar additives of lubricant and the modified Reynolds equation are solved simultaneously using finite difference method satisfying appropriate boundary conditions to obtain the steady-state performance characteristics for various parameter namely percolation factor, slip coefficient, bearing feeding parameter, coupled stress parameter, and eccentricity ratio. The results are exhibited in the form of graphs, which may be useful for design of such bearing.
