Abstract
A two dimensional numerical solution to the problem of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication of rolling/sliding contacts was obtained using a finite difference formulation. The technique involves the simultaneous solution of the thermal Reynolds’ equation, the elasticity equation, and the two dimensional energy equation. A pressure and temperature dependent viscosity for a synthetic paraffinic hydrocarbon lubricant (XRM-109F) was considered in the solution of the Reynolds’ and energy equations. The experimental pressure and surface temperature measurements obtained by Dow and Kannel [1] were used in evaluating the results of the numerical analysis for the cases of pure rolling and slip conditions.
