In order to investigate the influence mechanism of complex gas flow behaviour on the lubrication effect of cylindrical gear with variable hyperbolic circular-arc-tooth trace under oil injection lubrication environment due to its special tooth shape. The computational fluid dynamics is used to model the computational basin, simplify and simulate the calculation, analyse the interference between the high-speed gas flow field and the oil injection beam, and determine the optimal oil injection angle through the streamline diagram. The oil distribution, average oil volume fraction and oil pressure on the inspection surface were extracted, and the influence of different oil injection parameters on the lubrication of the tooth surface was obtained. The results show that the lubrication effect of the gear transmission can be improved by biasing the oil injection angle towards the main wheel by 10.73º, and by increasing the oil injection speed, decreasing the oil injection distance, and lowering the gear rotation speed appropriately. The findings of this study provide a theoretical basis for the design and parameter optimisation of the oil injection lubrication system and cooling system of the gear transmission.
