A numerical model to study the role of surface textures at top dead center reversal in the piston ring to cylinder liner contact

Minimisation of parasitic losses in the internal combustion engine is essential for improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Surface texturing has emerged as a method palliating these losses in instances where thin lubricant films lead to mixed or boundary regimes of lubrication. Such thin fi...
