To study the lubrication characteristics of water-lubricated rubber bearings(WLRBs)in mixed-flow state
based on the classical laminar flow and turbulent lubrication theory
the mixed flow lubrication equations were established for WLRBs. Adopting the finite difference method
the variations of Reynolds number
water film thickness
liner deformation and water film pressure with eccentricity
rotational speed
and length to diameter ratio under mixed-flow lubrication were investigated
and the lubrication characteristics in three different lubrication states of laminar
turbulent and mixed flows were studied. The results show that the mixed-flow lubrication equations are more suitable for the actual operating conditions of WLRBs than the laminar and turbulent theories. For the mixed-flow lubrication
the value ranges of water film thickness
liner deformation and water film pressure are all between that of laminar and turbulent lubrications. For the mixed-flow lubrication
the Reynolds
