On the Steady-State Performance of Isotropically Rough Porous Hydrodynamic Journal Bearings of Finite Width with Slip-Flow Effect

The objective of the present article is to theoretically investigate the static performance characteristics of rough porous hydrodynamic journal bearings of finite width with the effect of slip flow at the porous-film interface on the basis of the Beavers-Joseph criterion. In the analysis, the roughness is uniformly distributed over the bearing surfaces, with no preferred position or direction in the surface. With the concept of a stochastic...
