Popis: To study the oil film performance, a multi-physical coupling model considering the elastohydrodynamic lubrication effect of the piston–cylinder interface is established and verified. The oil film thickness is obtained by solving geometric formulae, and the dynamic pressure model is derived by solving the Reynolds equation. Considering the oil film thickness and pressure distribution of the piston–cylinder interface, the elastic deformation model is solved. Both theoretical and experimental results show that the oil film morphology is influenced by the elastic deformation of the piston surface. The impact of the minimum fluid film thickness and its influence on the piston surface are well analyzed and discussed. When taking elastic deformation into account, the viscous friction reduces greatly, especially during the oil discharging process. Based on the theoretical research, a unique test rig was designed and established for testing and measuring the oil film thickness and the viscous friction of the piston.
