Summary The effect of fluid inertia over the sill area on the rotordynamic coefficients of multirecess hybrid bearings has been investigated here. It has been shown that only the direct stiffness coefficients amongst the various rotordynamic coefficients are influenced by the inclusion of a fluid inertia effect over the sills. It has been found that the fluid inertia effect, when taken into account, reduces the dynamic stiffness coefficients. Therefore it manifests itself in the form of apparent mass or inertia in the system. Results are presented for a four-recess capillary-compensated hybrid journal bearing.

1. Introduction High frequency vibration characteristics of multirecess hydrostatic and hybrid journal bearings have been investigated by several researchers [ 1 71. Recent investigations highlight their use in high speed turbopumps [8 - lo]. The effect of squeeze action over the sills, the recess volume fluid compressibility effect and their operation in the turbulent regime are amongst the topics reported in recent investigations. Part I of the present investigation presented a general analysis of the combined influence of squeeze action over sills and the recess volume fluid compressibility effect on the rotordynamic coefficients of multirecess hybrid bearings. This report investigates the effect of fluid inertia over the sills on the rotordynamic coefficients of multirecess hybrid journal bearings. Fluid inertia is characterized by the Reynolds number in the dynamic Reynolds equation. The analysis and the results presented for a four-recess capillary-compensated hybrid bearing reveal that fluid inertia manifests itself in the form of apparent mass or inertia. It can be included in the dynamic direct stiffness coefficients which become dependent on the Reynolds number. Therefore only two direct stiffness coefficients are influenced by the fluid inertia from among the eight rotordynamic coefficients of the bearing. 0043-1648/89/$3.50

2. Theory The bearing configuration is shown schematically in Fig. 1 of Part I. For an isoviscous incompressible lubricant, the equation for the lubricant in the bearing clearance, including the effect of fluid inertia, is given in ref. 11. The journal is assumed to execute high frequency vibrations superposed over steady rotation about its own axis.

3. Results and discussion Results are presented in terms of direct dynamic stiffness coefficients (Efe)d and (&,)d for a capillary-compensated bearing with the following specifications: Z = 5 = 0.5, L/D = 1.0, 6, = 7.795, in Figs. 1 - 6 for various values of y, R,, A and for eccentricity ratios of 0.2 and 0.5. It has been mentioned before that only the direct stiffness coefficients are affected by the fluid inertia. Bearing coefficients are obtained from the dynamic load due to pressures Is1 and &, as obtained from the solution of eqns. (10) and (ll), satisfying the boundary conditions given by eqns. (12) and (15). A closer examination reveals that the inertia terms appear as

{(R,a@)/12} cos 8 and {(R,ah$/l2} sin 0. This means that only the direct stiffness coefficients, which come from the real part of the dynamic load capacity due to pressures Is, and pz, are affected by the fluid inertia. Cross stiffness terms are due to the -A sin 8 and A cos 0 terms in eqn. (10) and eqn. (11) respectively and are therefore not affected by fluid inertia. Figures 1-- 6 show the variation of the dynamic stiffness coefficients (I(EE)d and (KeG)d with the frequency parameter o for various values of y and R,. The effect of the recess volume fluid compressibility results in the frequency dependence of the stiffness coefficients as has been observed in the results presented in Part I. The fluid inertia effect alters this stiffness coefficient dependence on the frequency parameters. Instead of plateau values for the stiffness coefficients, optimum values of the dynamic coefficients are obtained with regard to u and, for values of e higher than this, the dynamic stiffness registers a sharp fall to a lower value. The frequency at which this optimum condition occurs is dependent on y and reduces with increasing y. Therefore the bearing stiffness characteristics are u, y and R, dependent. As per the definition of R, = pC20/p and u = (12110R2)/(C2p,), the term RBu, which appears in eqns. (10) and (ll), is given by (pw2R2/p,) and is dependent on the geometry, fluid properties, supply pressure and the frequency of vibration. Thus, for a dynamic condition of operation characterized by “a”, it would be possible to select proper geometry parameters for the fluid with proper values of ~.r,p and supply pressure ps and y to obtain the optimum values of the dynamic coefficients. The bearing number (A) and eccentricity ratio (~a) effect is marginal and occurs only in the low frequency range.

4. Conclusions (1) Fluid inertia over the sill area, characterized by the Reynolds number, has a significant influence on the stiffness characteristics of multirecess hybrid journal bearings. (2) Within a useful range of the frequency parameter u, an optimum value of the dynamics stiffness coefficient may be obtained by properly choosing y (fluid compressibility parameter) with proper values of @ and p, C/R ratio and supply pressure ps. (3) The damping coefficient is not influenced by fluid inertia.
