From asperity to fuel economy – a digital friction study
John Bucknall, Senior Engineer, BP Applied Sciences, BP Lubricants Ltd.
Virtual Simulation Event 2022
James Bucknall presents how the Ricardo Software toolset can be used to simulate all the key lubricated contacts in a passenger car engine to generate a full frictional perfomance (FMEP) map across speed, load and temperature. He then demonstrates that by building advanced specific lubricant characterizations these same tools can be used to facilitate the differentiation of lubricants in terms of drive cycle fuel economy.
