Shell Energy Source Viscous Dissipation#

Shell Energy Source Viscous Dissipation = {model_name} <float_list>

Description / Usage#

This card activates a heat source (or sink, as it were) in the shell_energy equation resulting from viscous dissipation due to shear combined Couette and pressure-driven flow in the Reynolds lubrication equation (lubp equation).

LUBRICATION

This model invokes a viscous dissipation model simplified for the lubrication approximation.

  • <float1> - Scale factor for the term, typically taken as 1.0

LUBRICATION_FRICTION

This model invokes the same viscous dissipation source term as in the LUBRICATION model, but adds on an additional linear friction model of the form μ*Pload vslider. Commensurately there are seven floats required:

  • <float1> - coefficient of friction, μ.

  • <float2> - Applied external load Pload

Examples#

Following is a sample card:

Shell Energy Source Viscous Dissipation= LUBRICATION_FRICTION {load=5e8} {coeff=0.9}
