This hydraulic machine (1) comprises a wheel (2) which is able to rotate with respect to a fixed structure (9) and about a fixed axis of rotation (X2), a forced flow (E) of water being intended to flow through this wheel (2). A hydrostatic bearing (100), which is formed between, firstly, an element (111) coupled in rotation to the wheel (2) and, secondly, a part (91) of the fixed structure (9), is arranged between a first region (Z1) of the machine, which is in fluid communication with the forced flow (E) and in which, during operation, there prevails a pressure similar to that of the forced flow, and a second region (Z2) of the machine, which is isolated from the forced flow by this bearing. |
