TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that the Reynolds equation is an approximation of the Stokes equation and that the kind of convergence is strongly related with the boundary conditions on the velocity field.
Abstract
The Reynolds equation is used to calculate the pressure distribution in a thin layer of lubricant film between two surfaces. Using the asymptotic expansion in the Stokes equations, we show the existence of singular perturbation phenomena whenever the two surfaces are in relative motion. We prove that the Reynolds equation is an approximation of the Stokes equations and that the kind of convergence is strongly related with the boundary conditions on the velocity field.

The Impact of the Cavitation Model in the Analysis of Microtextured Lubricated Journal Bearings

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of the cavitation model on the numerical assessment of lubricated journal bearings is analyzed and compared using the classical Reynolds model and the so-called p- θ model proposed by Elrod and Adams.

The polynomial property of self-adjoint elliptic boundary-value problems and an algebraic description of their attributes

TL;DR: In this article, a wide class of boundary-value problems for which the application of elliptic theory can be reduced to elementary algebraic operations is described and characterized by the following polynomial property: the sesquilinear form corresponding to the problem degenerates only on some finite-dimensional linear space of vector polynomials.

Moving textures: Simulation of a ring sliding on a textured liner

TL;DR: In this article, numerical simulations of the ring/liner contact in which the liner exhibits a periodic texture (pockets) are reported, and the authors show that the ring profile determines whether pocketing is beneficial or not.
