Tapered roller bearings are extensively utilized in the aerospace industry owing to their superior load-carrying capacity and extended service life. However, the majority of research conducted by scholars on the subject of bearing lubrication has focused on ball and cylindrical roller bearings. There is a paucity of research on the internal lubricants and air distribution of tapered roller bearings under oil jet lubrication conditions. This paper presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation model specifically designed for the oil jet lubrication of tapered roller bearings. The flow field inside the bearing cavity is analyzed under various operating conditions, and the impact of different parameters on lubrication performance is quantitatively assessed using the oil return efficiency as a metric. Additionally, an experimental test stand for the jet lubrication of tapered roller bearings was developed. The simulated oil return efficiency was compared with experimental data, revealing discrepancies within 10%, thereby validating the accuracy of the CFD model. The findings suggest that directing the oil jet toward the smaller end of the bearing, appropriately increasing the nozzle flow rate, and utilizing positive jetting can significantly improve the lubrication performance of tapered roller bearings.
