Description

In this paper, we have tried to study the thermal phenomenon in the tilting pad thrust bearings, with THD model of hydrodynamic thrust bearings in a stationary laminar flow. The developed model, allows for three-dimensional pressure and temperature distribution in the oil film, as well as the variation in the pad.

Thermo-hydrodynamic modeling THD is performed from the equations of the mechanics of viscous thin films. These equations can be applied to any type of abutments lubricated by a Newtonian fluid. We have presented the equations necessary to determine the fields of pressure and temperature in the contact, and then we modeled a hydrodynamic thrust bearing. The study is three-dimensional (3D). The fields of pressure and temperature in the film, the interface pad and the movie - shoe respectively are obtained by solving the generalized Reynolds equation and the energy equation in the film and heat in the solid
