Journal bearing optimization and analysis using streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin finite element method

A three-dimensional finite element thermo-hydrodynamic lubrication model that couples the Reynolds and energy equations is developed. The model uses the streamline upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG) method. Model results indicate that the peak temperature location in slider bearing is on the mid-plane we...
