Finite-volume CFD modelling of fluid-solid interaction in EHL contacts

Classically in an elastohydrodynamic (EHD) problem, the Reynolds equation is the most widely used PDE to describe the behaviour of lubricants in high-pressure non-conforming contacts, and elastic deformation is usually calculated using the Hertzian theory of elastic contacts. This thesis outlines th...
