A Novel Approach for Modeling Surface Effects in Hydrodynamic Lubrication

A Novel Approach for Modeling Surface Effects in Hydrodynamic Lubrication

The common approach for the flow factor calculation is based on using the Reynolds equation to simulate the micro-level flow. However, for structured surfaces the fluid flow cannot be represented correctly, due to the assumptions made when deriving the Reynolds equation. In this work, a novel method...
