Abstract
- The paper presents the numerical solution of line contact thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) with bio-based lubricant. The model comprises Reynolds equation, film thickness, load balance and energy equations with appropriate boundary conditions by incorporating viscosity–pressure–temperature and density–pressure–temperature relations. Second-order finite difference scheme is used for the discretised form and their equation. The multigrid method with full approximation scheme is used to solve the Reynolds equation along with multilevel multi-integration method for film thickness equation. The pressure, film thickness and temperature distributions for two rolling velocities and various loads with a bio-based lubricant are presented in detail. The present findings yield a reduction in the minimum film thickness for high speed. Details of pressure spike as a function of relevant parameters are given. The results are compared with earlier findings based on different methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
