An externally pressurized gas journal bearing with multiple supply holes is analysed theoretically by numerical method of solution. The load and flow are predicted by considering both axial and circumferential flow. These load and flow expressed in dimensionless factors are presented for different bearing design parameters. The results are compared with the similar available approximate method.
