Abstract:
A ball is in contact with a plane, and a
lubricant separates the two surfaces to decrease
friction during their relative motion. To avoid
wear, the lubricant film thickness should be
higher than the surface roughness. The goal of
this paper is to show how it is possible to solve
efficiently the problem of elastohydrodynamics
lubrication with Comsol Multiphysics, using a
PDE on boundary to implement the Reynolds
equation.
