Analysis on Fluid Characteristics of Friction Plate in Wet Multi-plate Clutch Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics

In order to study the fluid characteristics of wet clutch in the process of engagement, the flow characteristics of radial oil grooves between the friction plates were simulated by Fluent, and the different entrance flow rates and different entrance temperature of heat exchanger performance were also discussed. The simulation results were compared with the test results, showing that the accuracy of the simulation calculation method. The calculation results can be used to study and optimal design the friction characteristics of the wet clutch.
