Methods in Fluids (4), 377-397 (1984). # The lubricant film gap and the pressure between two lubricated # elastic cylinders in line contact are calculated. When the # pressure is positive, Reynolds's equation must be satisfied; # when the pressure is 0, the surfaces must diverge. # The load (in pounds) is represented by alpha. The speed # (in rpm) of the cylinders is represented by lambda. A more # elaborate version of this model would involve a table of # (alpha, lambda) pairs. # In this variant, h is a "defined variable", which AMPL automatically # substitutes out: the solver does not see it. param N integer >= 1, default 100; # grid 0..N; # half-points go 1 ..
