How can the feeding flow influence on its performance, when it's smaller or bigger than the numerically predicted axial fluid flow?
Dear Wederley,
The answer depends on the kind of journal bearing you are speaking about.
If you are studying the performance under isothermal regime and if the feeding flow is higher than the predicted axial flow ratio, it will not have an influence on the bearing performance.
If you are studying the performance under isothermal regime and if the feeding flow is lower than the predicted axial flow ratio, it means that you have to take into account of the starvation in our modelling; in that case, the bearing performance will be more or less influenced depending how much the bearing is starved.
If you are studying the bearing under THD regime, in that case, whatever the feeding flow the bearing performance will be modified due to the thermal effects.

Michel
