This paper introduces an optimized computational domain for fully flooded circular elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) contacts, enhancing the accuracy of numerical calculations of pressure and oil film thickness. First, the computational domain was configured based on Kapitza's analytical solution. Then, a resolution sensitivity study for the mesh of the 2D computational domain for the Reynolds equation was conducted to investigate the effect of mesh resolution on the accuracy of the numerical solution. Subsequently, the impact of the size of the full 3D computational domain on the simulation's accuracy and computational efficiency was analyzed. The main result is the 3D computational domain, which automatically adapts to operating conditions within the piezoviscous rigid, the isoviscous rigid, the piezoviscous elastic, and the isoviscous elastic regions, as well as in the transition regions between them. This results in a model which provides accurate predictions across a wide range of operational conditions. Another outcome is a new approximate expression for the central oil film thickness, showing a maximum relative difference of less than 4.6% compared to the numerical model. |
