Abstract

Fluctuation characteristics of the pressure drop distribution and liquid film distribution along a pipe of the oil-air annular flow in oil-air lubrication system are calculated respectively introducing Chisholm constant c base on the Chisholm theory and simulated by Fluent in this paper. The results show that the theoretical calculation results of the pressure drop and liquid film agree qualitatively with the simulation results, and the fluctuation characteristics of the pressure drop and liquid film thickness are augmented respectively when the air velocity increases. These conclusions will do favors for predicting and controlling the lubricant in the oil-air lubrication system.
