Development of electromigration computational model and thermal stress reliability analysis of interconnect structures.
Inertial Effects in Hydrodynamic Journal Bearings
In lubrication theory influence of inertial terms (Reynolds equation) is something that remains somewhat a mistery. This ongoing research effort uses full NS equations to solve Low and high RPM flows and compare with Reynolds equation solutions. This will point to differences due to inertial terms.
