Abstract: Given a bearing of some specified macroscopic shape, what is the effect of texturing its surfaces uniformly? Experimental and numerical investigations on this question have recently been pursued, ...

Abstract: A numerical algorithm for fully dynamical lubrication problems based on the Elrod–Adams formulation of the Reynolds equation with mass-conserving boundary conditions is described. A simple but ...

Abstract: The level set method is becoming increasingly popular for the simulation of several problems that involve interfaces. The level set function is advected by some velocity field, with the zero-level ...

Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the impact of the cavitation model on the numerical assessment of lubricated journal bearings. We compare results using the classical Reynolds model and the so-called ...
