The present work is on prediction of temperature distribution in noncircular journal bearings and the surrounding solids. Three forms are studied, viz. two-lobe, elliptical and orthogonally displaced bearings. For comparison purposes, a circular bearing with two different groove locations is analyzed. The investigation includes the effects of recirculation and oil mixing at the grooves. The cavitation zone has also been investigated. The work is based on a two-dimensional treatment following McCallion’s approach. The results are presented for various geometries of journal bearing configuration, including the conventional circular bearing.
