Abstract:
The oil droplet velocity in an aero engine bearing chamber can determine the initial film state which is the fundament for lubrication design and heat analysis. This paper studied the droplet motion in a respective aero engine bearing chamber and obtained a fast method to calculate the droplet velocity by an analytical method.Comparing the velocity results calculated by the fast method with those from the literatures by the numerical method under different operating conditions,the method proposed in this paper is confirmed to be fast and reliable. The effects of operating conditions on droplet velocity are obtained at the same time. This study contribute to follow-up research work on droplet deposition properties in aero engine bearing chambers.
Key words:    aero engine    bearing chamber    fast method    droplet    velocity
