On the Magnitude of Load-Carrying Capacity of Textured Surfaces in Hydrodynamic Lubrication

This paper investigates the magnitude of the load-carrying capacity enabled by textured feature in hydrodynamic lubrication. The numerical model is a two-dimensional fixed pad bearing with a single dimple. The Reynolds equation was numerically solved using the Elrod algorithm. Two boundary condition...
