- (1)
- For the purpose of simplifying the calculation of shear stress, the lubricating oil under consideration is assumed to behave as a Newtonian fluid. According to Newton’s law of viscosity, shear stress within a fluid is directly proportional to the velocity gradient perpendicular to the direction of flow.
- (2)
- Due to the extremely small thickness of the oil film, the effect of fluid flow in the direction perpendicular to the film thickness is disregarded.
- (3)
- To streamline the continuity equation, the fluid is assumed to be incompressible, meaning that changes in volume due to pressure variations are considered negligible compared to those resulting from velocity gradients.
- (4)
- To simplify the modeling of fluid flow behavior, the analysis excludes considerations of fluid particle rotation or deformation, focusing solely on the translational characteristics of fluid particles.
- (5)
- To simplify the velocity field near the solid boundary, a no-slip condition is assumed between the fluid and solid surfaces, meaning the velocities of both are equal at the boundary.
- (6)
- To simplify the calculation of pressure distribution within the oil film, the effect of pressure variation in the direction perpendicular to the oil film thickness is neglected.
- (7)
- To simplify the momentum balance equation, the influences of inertial forces and gravitational effects on the oil film particles are neglected.

- (1)
- The DBOFT is expressed in nanometer scales.
- (2)
- Through the horizontal comparison of Figure 7, the maximum DBOFT remains unaffected by different measuring angles.
- (3)
- Through the longitudinal comparison of Figure 7, the absolute value of the DBOFT decreases as the rotational speed increases gradually, indicating a tendency towards stable operation of the Rotor-Bearing system.
- (4)
- According to the subgraphs in Figure 7, the DBOFT remains unaffected by varying linear distance () when the angular displacement () is constant.
- (5)
- The variation range of the DBOFT is significantly influenced by the rotational speed when the linear distance () and the angular displacement () are constant. There is a specific scenario where and . When the range of rotational speed is , the variation range of the DBOFT is at a measuring angle of 150 degrees and at a measuring angle of 210 degrees, with the DBOFT decreasing by 90.1 percent and 89.8 percent, respectively.
- (1)
- Similar to the radial clearance, the magnitude order of the DBOFT is micron. Therefore, the rotation scenario can be effectively distinguished from the translation scenario.

- (1)
- Similar to the radial clearance, the magnitude order of the DBOFT is micron. Therefore, the misalignment scenario can be effectively distinguished from the translation scenario.
- (2)
- Through the horizontal comparison of Figure 9, the maximum DBOFT varies with different measuring angles. Therefore, the misalignment scenario can be effectively distinguished from the translation scenario and the rotation scenario.
