Abstract: This paper deals with the application of the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) to fluid-film lubrication. Compared with the traditional computational approach in lubrication (based on Reynolds equation), ...

Abstract: A numerical model is developed to analyze the influence of thermal deformations on the performance of a radially grooved thrust washer. The analysis couples the flow phenomena (including cavitation) ...

Abstract: Flow visualization with smoke particles illuminated by a laser sheet was used to obtain a qualitative description of the air flow structures through a dynamically similar 7.5× symmetric ...

Abstract: In this work, a rotary atomizer, referred to as a slinger injector, is investigated. An experimental setup has been designed to model the environment of the combustion chamber, and an optical ...
