An Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian Formulation for Modelling Cavitation in the Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Line Contacts
In this article an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation for modelling cavitation in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is derived and applied to line contact geometry. The method is developed in order to locate the position of cavitation onset along the length of the contacting region which gives the transition from liquid to vapour in the fluid. The ALE is implemented by introduci...
متن کاملElastohydrodynamic Grease Lubrication Theory and Numerical Solution in Line Contacts
In this paper, film thickness and pressure distribution of EHL in line contacts for four kinds of greases and one type of oil are calculated under a series of rolling velocities by wing an inverse solution method. The Herschel-Bulkley model is wed for the rheological characteristics of the grease. Based on the theoretical analysis and numerical calculation, the following influences on film thic...
متن کاملElastohydrodynamic lubrication of faults
The heat flow paradox provides evidence that a dynamic weakening mechanism may be important in understanding fault friction and rupture. We present here a specific model for dynamic velocity weakening that uses the mechanics of well-studied industrial bearings to explain fault zone processes. An elevated fluid pressure is generated in a thin film of viscous fluid that is sheared between nearly ...
متن کاملComputational Approaches for Modelling Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Using Multiphysics Software
Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) modelling plays an important role in engineering design and analysis since a number of important mechanical components operate under EHL conditions. In this paper methods are presented for solving both line and point contact cases using multiphysics software. The advantages, and the overheads, of using such an approach over developing highly specialised, bes...
متن کاملModelling Cavitation in (Elasto)Hydrodynamic Lubrication
In this chapter we will present a derivation of a mathematical model describing how cavitation influences the pressure distribution in a thin lubricant film between two moving surfaces. The main idea in the derivation is to first describe the influence of cavitation on the mass flow and thereafter using a conservation law for the mass. This leads to a nonlinear system with two complementary var...
