Hydrodynamic lubricant film separation during co-directional and counter-directional rotations of disengaged wet clutch packs

The parasitic drag losses incurred by wet clutches, used in transmission systems, can significantly affect vehicular powertrain efficiency. This paper presents a novel implicit solution for hydrodynamic parasitic drag losses of disengaged clutches. These are generated by conjunctional friction, taki...
