Abstract

The aim of this paper is to design the novel oil-air distributor (N-OAD) and it’s working principle, structure design and flow regime were studied. The fluid domain model of N-OAD was build and the phase distribution of oil and air two-phase flow on distribution interface was simulated based on the CFD model in Fluent. Meanwhile, the bubbles were found in the lubricant during the experiment, so, the void fraction and viscosity properties of bubbles oil was tested by image processing method and the Mars40 rheometer, respectively. The results showed that the viscosity of the lubricating oil was increased by the mixing of bubbles and the key factors of bubble oil formation are air pressure and oil feeding.
