**************************** **Lubrication Fluid Source** **************************** :: Lubrication Fluid Source = {model_name} ----------------------- **Description / Usage** ----------------------- This card sets a fluid mass source term in the lub_p equation. Can be used to specify inflow mass fluxes over the entire portion of the lubrication gap in which the lub_p equation is active (over the shell material). This flux might be the result of an injection of fluid, or even melting. Currently two models {model_name} are permissible: +--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |**CONSTANT** |This model is used to set a constant fluid source in units of velocity. Only one | | |floating point value is required. | | | | | | * is the velocity of the fluid source. | +--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |**MELT** |This model is used to set fluid source in units of Velocity which results from an | | |analytical model of lubricated melt bearing flow due to Stiffler (1959). Three | | |floating point values are required. | | | | | | * is load on the slider in units of pressure | | | * is the Stiffler delta factor. Unitless but depends on the aspect ratio. | | | * is the length of the slider in the direction of the motion. | +--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------ **Examples** ------------ Following is a sample card: :: Lubrication Fluid Source = CONSTANT 180.
