Abstract

The negative squeeze lubrication problem is investigated by means of numerical simulations that account for the dynamics of vaporization. The model is based on bubble dynamics, governed by the Rayleigh–Plesset equation, and the Reynolds equation for compressible fluids. Unlike most existing simulation models our model can predict tensile stresses in the fluid film prior to its rupture, which is in accordance with experimental evidence.
