Understanding the influence of surface properties (roughness, grooves, discrete
textures/dimples) on the performance of hydrodynamically lubricated contacts has been the …

Despite numerous experimental and theoretical studies reported in the literature, surface
micro-texturing to control friction and wear in lubricated tribo-contacts is still in the trial-and …

Surface texturing to control friction and wear has been the focus of numerous studies in the
last few decades. Despite this interest, understanding the underlying causes for surface …

Surface texturing has been frequently used for tribological purposes in the last three
decades due to its great potential to reduce friction and wear. Although biological systems …

A growing interest is given to the textured hydrodynamic lubricated contacts. The use of
textured surfaces with different shapes of microcavities (textures) and at different locations of …

The frictional behaviour of plane converging bearings was experimentally and numerically
studied for four texture geometries fabricated by ultra-short pulse laser texturing (single …

We report experimental and numerical investigations of the friction characteristics of
microtextured surfaces. The textures are of size 28–257μm on stainless steel surfaces …

Theoretical modeling of surface texturing in hydrodynamic lubrication is a necessary first
step to obtain favorable effect of the texturing. This invited review presents a comprehensive …

The article aims to provide references for designing water-lubricated plain journal bearings.
Considering the differences between the physical properties of the water and of the oil, the …

Numerous recent studies focus on modelling the lubricant flow in macro-textured
configurations, using the Navier-Stokes, Stokes, and Reynolds equations. Several of these …
