A priori error estimation for elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication using interior-exterior penalty approach

Publication date 7 July 2022

Abstract: In the present study, an interior-exterior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM) is analysed for solving Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) line and point contact problems. The existence of discrete penalized solution is examined using Brouwer's fixed point theorem. Furthermore, the uniqueness of solution is proved using Lipschitz continuity of the discrete solution map under light load parameter assumptions. A priori error estimates are achieved in

L^{2}

and

H^{1}

norms which are shown to be optimal in mesh size

h

and suboptimal in polynomial degree

p

. The validity of theoretical findings are confirmed through series of numerical experiments.
