Microscopic design and optimization of hydrodynamically lubricated dissipative interfaces

Hydrodynamically Lubricated and Grooved Biomimetic Self-Adapting Surfaces

In many machines and mechanical components, there is a need for new bearing technologies to reduce friction and wear, and provide precision control of motion when the load is varied. This can be provided by electronically controlled actuators and sensors on the surfaces, but then the system reliability can be an issue. In contrast, biomimetic surfaces can be created that adapt mechanically to v...

Starvation Effects in Elasto-hydrodynamically Lubricated Line Contacts

A lubricated contact suffers from starvation when the lubricant does not fill the contact inlet adequately. Such a situation arises due to short lubricant supply or at extremely high speeds. The starvation effect is modeled by shifting the position of the inlet meniscus towards the contact zone. The degree of starvation, so obtained, is plotted as a function of the position of inlet meniscus un...

Bubble Dynamics Model for Hydrodynamically Unstable Interfaces

Several particle methods such as molecular dynamics, lattice gas, lattice Boltzmann and Bird will be compared to Navier–Stokes continuum hydro-dynamics as to their relative advantages and disadvantages. Particularly, the simulation of the " consistent " Boltzmann and its Enskog extension will be discussed. Evolution of the Rayleigh–Taylor unstable interface is known to be domi-nanted by bubble ...
