7. Consideration of thermal effects and power supply conditions
So far, we've considered an isothermal regime and a fully supplied lubricant film. But two effects contribute to reducing film thickness: thermal effects at the contact entry and poor lubricant supply.
7.1 Thermal effects
At the contact entry point, a fraction of the lubricant is displaced, producing a return flow (figure 14 ). This reverse flow creates local...
