摘要: The bottom pivot is a vital support device in the miter gate but often subject to poor lubrication and wear failures. Calculating thehydrodynamic lubricationcharacteristics of the bottom pivot is a complex three-dimensional (3D) problem, and most of existing models adopt simplified assumptions to reduce the calculation difficulty. To solve this issue, this work develops a 3D model to calculate thehydrodynamic lubricationcharacteristics of the miter gate bottom pivot. Thefinite difference methodis used to solve theoil film thicknessand pressure distribution based on the spherical coordinatesReynolds equation. The component forces in three directions are calculated from the pressure distribution and compared with the theoretical values to generate the calculation difference. Then, thegenetic algorithm(GA) is used to minimize the difference to determine the optimal initial parameters for the 3D model. The analysis results show that the calculation accuracy can be significantly improved by using the optimal initial model parameters. When our initial pressure is 5.64MPa, the results meet the engineering accuracy requirements.
