A mathematic model with consideration of the effects of turbulence,two-phase flow,and temperature on the pressure field at bearing surface is proposed here. Using this model,the Reynolds' equation and energy equation are solved in which the thermo-physical properties of the water as lubricant are taken into account. The dependency of characteristics of bearing,such as load-carrying capacity,flow rate ( pumping losses ) ,and frictional losses,on angular velocity, conical angle, and radial eccentricities, is presented. The research results are beneficial to the improvement of the efficiency of conical bearing and the environmental protection.展开更多
