In this paper , the pressure field and static characteristic of bearings are simulated by fluent . the pressure contours of restrictors and shaft are acquired as well as the load capacity and static stiffness curves versus eccentricity ratio
2.
And then , the cavity flow is simulated , and the streamline and pressure contour at different reynolds number are plotted , the stream function and location of vortex centers are agree well with the previous results , which indicate the incompressible lattice bgk model is reliable
