Abstract: | An analytical model of a tilting pad bearing was developed based on the short bearing assumption with the turbulence effect
included. In order to determine its influence on the dynamic behavior of the rotor, this model was compared against one without
the turbulence effect through a simulation of a Jeffcott/Laval rotor supported by a couple of bearings. Both models were also
used to determine the influence of geometric parameters on tilting pad bearing making use of the aforementioned system at
different rotor speeds.
When analyzing the results, the parameters which presented the largest influence were: pad preload, number of segments, radial
clearance, pad position, and pad pivoting angle. As the pad moment of inertia and the pivoting distance have changed the shaft
motion only a few microns, their effects can be neglected. The bearing model with turbulent flow effect has generated higher
hydrodynamic forces when compared to the one without this effect, which remarks the importance of considering such phenomenon
during the analysis of the high speed hydrodynamic bearings. |
