Although the use of combustion engines will decrease in passenger cars due to ecological reasons, turbochargers (TC) as typical applications with floating ring bearings will furthermore be applied in other applications like combined heat and power plants, ships or emergency backup generators for data processing service center and similar systems. Thus, the development of TC concerning rotor‐ and hydrodynamics is an important task, which leads due to the non‐linear behaviour to the necessity of advanced simulations for improving the performance.
