... and that pressure is potentially insufficient to support the load. In the second numerical analysis, the pin and the connecting rod are considered to be elastically deformable structures, and coupled 3D multiphase fluid–structure interaction simulation is performed. The boundary lubrication area is detected using...

...Kushagra Singh; Farshid Sadeghi; Thomas Russell; Steven J. Lorenz; Wyatt Peterson; Jaret Villarreal; Takumi Jinmon This paper presents a partitioned fluid–structure interaction (FSI) solver to model elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) of line contacts. The FSI model was constructed using...

... 01 2014 In this paper, a nonisothermal fluid-structure interaction mathematical model for the piston/cylinder interface leakage is presented. Full account is taken of the piston eccentricity, elastic deformations of the piston pair, the nonisothermal flow in the interface, and the physical...

... deformation directly affects the fluid film thickness. To analyze the piston/cylinder interface behavior, considering the fluid-structure interaction and thermal problems, the authors developed a fully coupled simulation model. The algorithm couples different numerical domains and techniques to consider all...
