A fluid machine includes a rotating body, an operation body rotated integrally with the rotating body, a housing, hydrodynamic plain bearings rotatably supporting the rotating body relative to the housing, and a cooling passage arranged in the housing. The hydrodynamic plain bearings each include a resin coating layer at a portion that is opposed to the rotating body. The hydrodynamic plain bearings include at least one combination of hydrodynamic plain bearings. Each combination includes an upstream hydrodynamic plain bearing and a downstream hydrodynamic plain bearing located at different positions in a direction in which the fluid flows through the cooling passage. The coating layer of the upstream hydrodynamic plain bearing has a lower hardness than the coating layer of the downstream hydrodynamic plain bearing.
