In this article, the influence of the oil cavity depth on the temperature field in the heavy hydrostatic bearing is discussed in the context of variable viscosity. The viscosity-temperature relations for the gap oil film are first established by fitting B-Spline curves, then, numerical calculations for the temperature field in the heavy hydrostatic bearing of different oil cavity depths are carried out based on Finite Volume Method （FVM） under the same rotating speed, and the influence of the oil cavity depth on the temperature distribution in the gap oil film of the hydrostatic bearing is discussed. The results of numerical calculations provide the temperature distribution state inside the hydrostatic bearing, which would help the selection and the design of hydrostatic bearings in engineering practice.展开更多
