In this study the bearing forces, which journal-bearing mechanisms carry, are examined in two different ways, theoretically and numerically. The numerical study is simulated with SolidWorks Flow Simulation. The numerical results obtained from the SolidWorks Flow Simulation show good agreement with the theoretical results. Additionally, the effect of grooved shaft compared to the original (ungrooved shaft) is investigated at the same diameter, length, radial clearance and eccentricity. Finally, in order to increase the capability of bearing force, groove width and groove entrance angle are investigated.
