Abstract

For more than a century, with increasing the demand for energy-saving, there has been a growing application of surface texturing due to its good behaviour in enhancing the performances of tribological pairs. As is known, in textured surface the inertia as well as the cavitation has a major effect on the hydrodynamic pressure profile. The present paper examines the correlation between the cavitation and the inertia effects in textured lubricated contact using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) approach. The multi-phase cavitation model is adopted to obtain more realistic characteristic of the bearing. A quantitative analysis of inertia influences on cavitation zone is made in this paper. The existence of slip at the bearing pad is also particular interest. Based on the simulation results, it is found that increasing the inertia effect will trigger the presence of the cavitation phenomena. It is also equally shown that the wall slip condition appears to contribute to the reduced hydrodynamic lift. The present results illustrate a superior performance of bearing with low inertia pattern in comparison to other bearing type
