Abstract
A finite-volume-based numerical method with a strongly implicit relaxation procedure is developed to solve the elastohydrodynamically lubricated point contact problem. The multigrid algorithm for the solution of the governing equations and the multilevel multi-integration technique for the elastic deformation equation are also developed within the finite-volume framework. The performance of the developed finite-volume method has been evaluated extensively. The proposed method has a computational complexity of O(n log n) where n is the total number of control volumes. Up to 6.18 GPa maximum Hertzian pressure case has been calculated and demonstrated. Presented at the 53rd Annual Meeting in Detroit, Michigan May 17–21, 1998
