A plain journal bearing model based on pi film short bearing theory is provided. The incompressible laminar Reynolds equation for the short bearing theory is:
The data fields are self-explanatory. In the right bottom of the screen, the proper units for the specified unit system are displayed for reference.
For a complete 2 dimensional Reynolds Equation solver, use Type 12-Multi-Lobe hydrodynamic bearing (input data in Rotor) or Type 13-Multi-Lobe hydrodynamic bearing (input data in BePerf).
