NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF OPERATING PARAMETERS
OF HYDRODYNAMIC THRUST BEARINGS LUBRICATED
WITH MAGNETIC FLUID

The paper presents the results of numerical simulations (CFD) of hydrodynamic thrust slide bearings lubricated
with magnetorheological (MR) fluid. The analyses were carried out to evaluate the influence of the rheological
properties of the lubricant, as well as the geometry of the bearing's thrust pad surface. Bearing load conditions
were considered on the key functional features of the system, i.e. axial force and torque. The paper presents
a comparative analysis of various geometries of thrust bearings and points out possible functional features of
hydrodynamic thrust bearings lubricated with fluids with controlled rheological properties.
