Study on the Gas Film Flow Field and its Influencing Factors at the Outlet of the Orifice of the Aerostatic Bearing

الملخص EN

In order to further explore and study the influencing factors and regulars of the gas film flow field at the outlet of the orifice of the aerostatic bearing, the large eddy simulation method was used to calculate the N-S equation in the calculation area of the gas film flow field at the outlet of the orifice of the aerostatic bearing, and the overrelaxation iteration method was used to solve the Reynolds equation in the other calculation areas, which was proposed in this paper.

Based on the physical model of the outlet of the orifice of the aerostatic bearing, the solution area of the gas film flow field of the aerostatic bearing was solved, and the calculation results were analyzed and discussed.

The results showed that there was a sharp drop of the gas film pressure at the outlet of the orifice of the aerostatic bearing and the separation of the gas film pressure p became inconsistent in the thickness direction of gas film clearance h.

It was assumed that there was a critical ratio θ between the gas film clearance h and the orifice diameter d of the aerostatic bearing, and when the ratio of gas film clearance h to the orifice diameter d was greater than the critical ratio θ, various fluctuations of the gas film flow field began to appear, which may be the initial signal state of the gas film flow field of the aerostatic bearing starting to transition to turbulence.

It provided a theoretical basis and guidance for further study of the transition lubrication mechanism between the laminar and the turbulent flow at the outlet of the orifice of the aerostatic bearing in this paper.
