Abstract: Several ASME journals have adopted stringent policies regarding publication of papers containing numerical or experimental results.

Abstract: An analytical solution is presented for two-dimensional, incompressible film flow between a sinusoidally grooved (or rough) surface and a flat surface. The upper grooved surface is stationary ...

Abstract: The one-dimensional squeeze film damper is modeled for high speed flow by using the two-equation (k-ε) turbulent transport model. The assumption is made that the fluid flow at each local region ...

Abstract: This investigation concerns a prediction of the behavior of viscoelastic fluids in a parallel circular squeeze film with a constant approach velocity, and a comparison to experimental results. ...

Abstract: Formulation of a three-dimensional, quasi-static lubrication model of an artificial hip joint is proposed which includes the inclination angle of the acetabular cup. This is performed by deriving ...

Abstract: Studies of particle flows have followed three parallel paths: (1) experiment, (2) analysis based on the assumption of a continuum, and (3) direct particle simulation. In this paper, we perform ...

Abstract: Formulation of a 3-D lubrication simulation of a total hip replacement in vivo is presented using a finite difference approach. The goal is to determine if hydrodynamic lubrication is taking ...

Abstract: A “soft” elastohydrodynamic lubrication model for a conformal one-dimensional sliding contact is presented. We describe surface-surface and fluid-surface interactions in conditions where asperities ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional elastohydrodynamic analysis is performed on a system consisting of a viscous fluid flowing between a sliding soft layer of finite thickness and a tilted flat plate. The behavior ...
