Influence of Pressure Changes on the Viscosity of Lubricating Oil in CFD Simulations of Conical Bearing Hydrodynamic Lubrication

Abstract

Abstract The aim of this study is to consider the effect of pressure on the viscosity of lubricating oil in the adopted model of hydrodynamic lubrication and on the calculated flow parameters and operating parameters of a conical slide bearing. The numerical analysis consisted in solving the Reynolds type equation for the process of stationary hydrodynamic lubrication.
