Abstract
To obtain motion characteristics of the lubricating oil film on the aero-engine bearing chamber wall, a complete mathematical model based on theoretical study to solve three-dimensional unsteady oil film motion was established. On the basis of verifying the rationality of the computational model, the variations of the oil film thickness, velocity and temperature with the rotation speed and lubricating oil flow were analyzed and studied. The numerical results show that the following: In the stable oil film flow state, the oil film thickness shows a decreasing trend with increase in rotation speed and an increasing trend with increase in the lubricating oil flow. Particularly, comparison with the experimental work shows that the proposed numerical model based on theoretical study to solve unsteady oil film motion is a valuable technical means for the study of oil film movement mechanism and the design of actual bearing chamber.
