This paper describes the influence of an unbalance on turbocharger rotor dynamics. The structural model of the turbocharger rotor and the hydrodynamic model of the journal floating ring bearing are described and assembled in multibody dynamics software. Moreover, the paper presents various results describing rotor dynamics where the influence of an unbalance is discussed.
