Contributor Eling, R. (mentor) Van Ostayen, R. (mentor) Faculty Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering Department Precision and Microsystems Engineering Date 2016-03-22 Abstract The first part of this thesis elaborates on two numerical models of different levels of comprehensiveness of a Laval rotor on plain journal bearings. These models are compared to an experiment, capable of rotating at 60 krpm, also devised in this research. Reasonable correlation in terms of whirl and whip behavior has been found. In the second part of the research a floating ring bearing model is developed. As this model is too expensive it is simplified subsequently. Next, the simplified bearing model is coupled to a rotor. The results are compared with an experiment capable of running at speeds up to 200 krpm.
