...Bogdan R. Kucinschi; Abdollah A. Afjeh This paper deals with the application of the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) to fluid-film lubrication. Compared with the traditional computational approach in lubrication (based on Reynolds equation), LBM does not neglect inertia forces. The implementation...
