Reynolds equation

    0.01 sec.
Reynolds equation [′ren·əlz i‚kwā·zhən]
(fluid mechanics)
A form of the Navier-Stokes equation which is ρ∂u/∂t= (∂/∂x)(pxx- ρu2) + (∂/∂y) · (pxy- ρuv) + (∂/∂z)(pxz- ρuw) where ρ is the fluid density,u, v,andware the components of the fluid velocity, andpxx, pxy,andpxzare normal and shearing stresses.

An isothermal, transient, polar coordinate Reynolds equation was discretized using control volume finite difference approach and solved using Newton's method.
The fluid wedge angle between the sliding surfaces was calculated with a finite element method analysis and then used in the average Reynolds equation from Patir and Cheng (1978, 1979) to analyze the fluid lubrication on rough sliding surfaces.
The hybrid FEM/FDM for solving the generalized Reynolds equation has been successfully used to simulate an unsteady filling process, which includes injection molding, compression molding, and resin transfer molding (44-48).
