Analytical Solution of Reynolds Equation: Grubin's Approximation

13.02.2017 tribonet

Derivation of famous analytical solution of EHL equations is presented here. In 1949, Grubin obtained a solution for so called elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) line contact problem with simplifications known as Grubin approximation. He was the […]

Reynolds Equation: Derivation and Solution

12.11.2016 tribonet

Reynolds equation is a partial differential equation that describes the flow of a thin lubricant film between two surfaces. It is derived from the Navier-Stokes equations and is one of the fundamental equations of the […]
