Abstract
Existing empirical formulae for journal bearing lubrication were derived abroad and may not suit the conditions prevailing in offshore platforms. The sensitivity of the predictions to key variables is examined systematically by finite volume methods. Removal efficiencies of 9% were achieved under the recommended operating conditions. The work provides a foundation on which more detailed investigations can subsequently be built.
