Abstract
Abstract The transient properties of a lightly loaded cylindrical slider with normal motion is investigated in the present paper. The sliding motion as well as the normal motion are started impulsively from rest. The method of separation of variables is used to solve for the velocity field in the unsteady momentum equation for the thin film lubrication. A pressure dependent equation in integral‐differential form is obtained through the use of mass continuity. The Coyne‐Elrod rupture model is used when cavitation occurs. The computational results show that the steady state solution after a long period of time agrees satisfactorily with that predicted using classical lubrication theory.
