Abstract
In the present paper Reynolds equation of lubrication under micro-polar fluid for journal bearing is solved by direct-integration method under infinitely long and infinitely short journal bearing assumptions [1]. Infinitely long-bearing and infinitely short bearing solutions are the two available approximate closed form solutions for journal bearings. In the present investigation, solution of Reynolds equation i.e. pressure profile is compared with pressure profile obtained by previously used approximate method like finite difference method (FDM). Mentionable here that any approximation method needs lots of calculation and computer programing to get the result. In the present work it has been found that direct-integration method leads the almost same result as the conventionally used complex finite difference method. CFD analysis is also presented in the present work to justify the profile obtained by direct numerical method. It has seen here that theoretical and simulation results are in good agreement to each other’s.
