Based on the continuity equation and its partial derivative equation, tieratie criterions and formula iterating the recess pressure and its partial derivatives of capillary compensated hybrid journal bearings have been established in this paper. The results show that this iterative method needs only a few iterations, it is suitable for various situations and clear in physical meaning, it can save a lot of computing time by applying it in a finite element method software which calculates the static and dynamic performances of capillary compensated hybrid journal bearings.
