    Thermoelastohydrodynamic analysis of journal bearings with non-Newtonian Carreau fluids
    (2010-06-24) ;
    Aiumpornsin, C.
    The paper focuses on the solution of a numerical model to explore the journal bearing performance under transient thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication with non-Newtonian lubricants based on Carreau viscosity model. The newly derived time-dependent modified Reynolds equation and the adiabatic energy equation have been formulated using a non-Newtonian Carreau viscosity model. The simultaneous systems consisting of the modified Reynolds equation, elasticity equation and energy equation with initial conditions were solved numerically using the multi-grid multi-level method with full approximation technique. The analysis showed that the fluid characteristics as defined by the Carreau model, led to large differences in minimum film thickness and maximum temperature rise for bearing liners with low elastic modulus.

    The time-dependent thermal compressible elastohydrodynamic lubrication of a sliding line contact has been developed to investigate the effect of a sudden load change. The time-dependent modified Reynolds equation with non-Newtonian fluids has been formulated using a power law model. Properties of non-Newtonian dilatant fluids for solid-liquid lubricants have been studied experimentally using two common solid particles; namely, molybdenum disulfide and polytetrafluoroethylene. The simultaneous systems of modified Reynolds, elasticity, and energy equations with initial conditions were solved numerically using a multigrid multilevel technique. The performance characteristics of the thermoelastohydrodynamic line contact were presented with varying dimensionless time for the pressure distribution, temperature distribution, and oil film thickness. The transient response of the line contact between two infinitely long cylindrical surfaces was simulated under a heavy step load function. The coefficients of friction were also presented in this work at steady condition with varying particle concentration. This simulation showed a significant effect of solid particles on thermoelastohydrodynamic lubrication under heavy load conditions. Copyright © 2006 by ASME.
