Evaluation of inertia effect in finite hydrodynamic bearings with surface texturing using spectral element solver

Fluid inertia can have a major effect on the pressure distribution in hydrodynamic bearings with surface texturing. So far, however, the effect has been ignored in the simulation of finite bearings. In this work, we develop a spectral element solver for the Navier-Stokes equations specifically tailo...
