Contaminant Particle Motion in Lubricating Grease Flow: A Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach

Contaminant Particle Motion in Lubricating Grease Flow: A Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach

In this paper, numerical simulations of particle migration in lubricating grease flow are presented. The rheology of three lithium greases with NLGI (National Lubricating Grease Institute) grades 00, 1 and 2 respectively are considered. The grease is modeled as a single-phase Herschel–Bulkley fluid,...
