Original abstract

The paper presents an efficient and numerically stable calculation model of a journal plain floating ring bear- ing. The computational model is based on the numerical solution of the Reynolds equation in combination with the analytical description of the resulting variables. This model is used in a virtual turbocharger assembled in multibody systems. This approach allows to effectively solve transient events, such as turbocharger run-up, con- sidering issues of rotor dynamics, tribology of bearings, flows of lubricant in the channels and potentially also gas flow through the sealing system. The model of the bearing includes the influence of the inlet and outlet channels and the non-cylindrical shape of the bearing surfaces. Influence of lubricant and structure temperature changes caused by shear stresses in lubrication film and related changes in the lubricant properties is also considered. The paper also presents the numerical implementation of the computational models and the verification of these models using technical experiments with the turbocharger of a diesel engine.
