h-p- Non Conforming Least Square Spectral Element Method for Solving EHL Line Contact Problem Using Parallel Computers

New computational algorithm has been developed for solving Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) problem for infi nite line contact which is based on h-p- non conforming least square spectral element method (h-p-LSSEM) using parallel computers. The Reynolds, Elasticity and force balance equations are solved simultaneously. A systematic approach has been developed and investigated using parallel computers.
