Aiming at resolving slower computing rate and limited computing scale of the traditional numerical methods for multiscale surface texture hydrodynamic lubrication
the finite cell method(FCM)is proposed. The accurateness is verified by the comparisons among the conventional finite element method(FEM)
computational fluid dynamic and FCM on simple texture model. The comparisons between FEM and FCM at different computational scale indicates that the computing rate is significantly improved and the computing scale is greatly enlarged. Several multiscale texture hydrodynamic models are solved with FCM
and the results reveal the linear relationship of computing time with mesh grids.
