Whirl orbits have been calculated for a cavitated rotor bearing in which the cavity is assumed to form at an oil inlet groove and occupy the region in which subambient pressure is predicted from the equations of motion. Variations in position of the inlet groove and in the oil supply pressure have a profound influence on the behavior of the journal, largely through the variations in cavity size and position that are produced.
