An unbalanced dual–disk rotor–bearing model was built to study the dynamic behaviors of the rotor of a real gas turbine generator. Parameters were carefully set based on the running conditions and structure characteristics of the generator. A systematic numerical analysis was done and the results clearly show that the whirl development of the rotor can be divided into three stages as speed rises: 1) stable synchronous inertia whirl stage; 2) self-excited oil whirl and accumulation stage, at which the vibration energy transfers from inertia whirl to oil whirl; 3) instable oil whip stage. The characteristics of each stage are discussed comprehensively. Special effort was done to study the influence of unbalance to the whirl progress, amplitude spectrum and stability of the system. The results are verified by several experimental studies. It shows that the model in the paper can be used to analyze the integrated dynamic behaviors of gas turbine rotor.
