Bearing Pressure plot
 

Hi guys,

I am simulating lubricant flow in journal bearing case. I want to plot the pressure values in terms of Theta (angle) around journal. I have a reference point on the periphery of journal which will act as an angle Zero degree. Now from this point I want to plot pressure around periphery of journal. please help me to do that.

THanks in advance. with profound hope looking for reply asap.

hi
i work with cfx.if it it is useful
first create new experssion then new variable.
i use this experssion but it start at x=0,y=0
"step(x/1[m])*step(y/1[m])*(asin(abs(y)/0.01905[m]))+
step(-x/1[m])*step(y/1[m])*(pi-asin(abs(y)/0.01905[m]))+
step(-x/1[m])*step(-y/1[m])*(pi+asin(abs(y)/0.01905[m]))+
step(x/1[m])*step(-y/1[m])*(2*pi-asin(abs(y)/0.01905[m]))"
0.01905 is my radius.
if you can change it to start from the desirable theta please tell me.
and if possible tell me about your simulation.
