Effect of Surface Texture Distribution Parameters on Hydrodynamic Lubrication and Numerical Optimization

Abstract

Surface texture technology has been proven to be an effective way to improve the lubrication performance of friction surfaces. In order to obtain the optimal surface texture distribution parameters, taking the spherical crown pit texture model as the research object, and selecting the unequal rectangular control unit to establish the surface texture distribution model with different horizontal and vertical distribution distances (densities).According to the principle of fluid dynamic pressure lubrication, a two-dimensional Reynolds equation based on the N-S equation is established and solved by the multigrid method to study the effect of texture distribution parameters on the surface hydrodynamic lubrication under plane motion. The results show that when the texture unit Lx is 3.4r and the aspect ratio Ly / Lx is 0.82, the optimal oil film bearing capacity can be obtained. When the control unit of the boundary pit is appropriately increased so that the left and right sides of the pit at the boundary are about 3.4r, the oil film pressure stability can be effectively improved.
