Numerical Investigation of Pressure Profile in Hydrodynamic Lubrication Thrust Bearing

Table 2

Effect of grid size on the results with grid refinement.

Grid size ()	Pressure (ND)	Pressure = Where “” = 1000
12 × 12	0.0110	11.0	0.0542
24 × 24	0.0119	11.9	0.1273
30 × 30	0.01261	12.61	0.1751
40 × 40	0.01260	12.60	0.1765
96 × 96	0.01255	12.55	0.1713

Where “” is a scaling factor which makes it convenient for noticing pressure values at different grid sizes.
