Abstract

Geometric model and CFD simulation of Air Bearing is presented, which allows to study the nature of deformation in the bearing material. In this paper CREO 2.0 software code for geometric modeling of the air bearing. Generated geometric model was imported in the finite element software ANSYS and the CFD simulation was done to simulate the deformation under radial fluid pressure in the bearing material. Air has been used as the fluid film material and three different materials has been used for bearing material (casing). The proposed modeling and CFD simulation has given to analyze stress in the different bearing material and pressure variation in fluid film. The study will help us to analyze more complicated problem and selection of bearing material.
