Numerical Study of the Influence of Geometric Features of Dimple Texture on Hydrodynamic Pressure Generation

Controlling friction and wear are essential for reducing energy loss and lengthening the life span of friction pairs in sliding contacts. Surface texturing is an effective and efficient way to reduce friction and wear, especially under lubricated conditions. Dimple texture on friction pair surfaces...
