  • Experimental study and numerical analysis on windage power loss characteristics of aviation spiral bevel gear with oil injection lubrication
    Li, Linlin ; Wang, Sanmin
    With the increasing speed of aviation spiral bevel gears, the load-independent windage power losses caused by hydrodynamic have increasingly more influence on gear transmission efficiency. Firstly, a ... test rig for the windage power loss of spiral bevel gear under oil-jet lubrication is established, and on this basis, a method for measuring windage torque is proposed. Next, the interactive effects of different injection lubrication parameters on the windage power loss were studied by orthogonal experiment, and the formula for calculating the windage loss was obtained by fitting the experimental data. Then, the fluid distribution, velocity field and pressure field around the gear were analysed by using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical model, and the mechanical and energy characteristics of the gear windage power loss were obtained. Finally, the dimensionless processing of the windage moment was carried out, and the variation of the dimensionless windage moment coefficient with the rotational Reynolds number is obtained. The comparison between the dimensionless windage moment coefficient of experimental data and simulation results shows that the CFD values are in good agreement with the measured data. This study provides experimental and methodological guidance for the calculation of windage power loss and windage reduction design of aviation gear pair under oil injection lubrication.
