Investigation of Cavitation in a Finite Journal Bearing Considering the Journal Speed and Couple Stress Fluids Effects

A theoretical analysis of the combined effect of journal speed and couple stress fluids (CSF) on the performance characteristics of a cavitated finite journal bearing (FJB) has been presented in this paper. Depending on the Elrod cavitation algorithm (ECA), the solution to the modified Reynolds equa...
