Abstract

The influence of dimples on the inner surface of big end bearing in internal combustion engine (ICE) on tribological performances of the bearing was investigated based on Navier-Strokes equation and other associated equations. In doing so, the CFD modulus in the software ANSYS12 version is used to analyze the dimple effect on the tribological performances of the bearing using two-way fluid-solid coupling algorithm. Some mechanisms are revealed about the dimple effect on the load-carrying capacity and friction coefficient of oil film, and the deformation and stress for the textured big end bearing.
