Abstract
A theoretical investigation has been conducted of the steady state performance of finite hydrodynamic porous journal bearings in turbulent regimes, following Constantinescu's turbulent lubrication theory. A numerical method has been employed to solve the governing differential equations for a wide range of bearing parameters. The effects of turbulence, eccentricity ratio, slenderness ratio, bearing feeding parameter and anisotropy of permeability on the load carrying capacity, friction coefficient and oil flow rate have been investigated. The results are presented in the form of figures and tables which may be useful for the design of such bearings.
