What is it about?

cavitation stages of the lubricant in the converging-diverging wedge of piston rings in a simulating test rig and a single cylinder diesel engine

Why is it important?

Cavitation affects the lubrication under the piston rings by altering the oil film pressure profile and the load carrying capacity of the piston ring.

Perspectives

Parametric study with different set-ups and different lubricants to assess the variability of the visulisation studies along with the transducers measurement.
