Description:
Review of the results of lubrication tests conducted in the NASA-Lewis Research Center gear test apparatus modified for high speed photography of gear tooth lubrication. The experimental results are compared with an analytical model that includes windage effects. The resulting findings show that the analytical model provides good agreement with the experimental impingement depth and that small oil drops are affected by gear windage. For this reason, the best lubrication is provided when the oil jet is not atomized.
