The different boundary conditions for calculating the dynamic coefficients provide different simplifications of the stiffness and damping properties of the lubricant film.
- Stiffness and damping in the cavitaiton areas are ignoed
This setting represents the most conservative of all boundary conditions and provides the lowest lubrication film damping. This setting should be used if no two-phase model was selected as cavitation algorithm.
- Stiffness and damping are scaled with the fill factor
This setting should be used if a two-phase model was selected as cavitation algorithm.
- Damping is calculated with full gap, stiffness is scaled
- Stiffness and damping are calculated with full gap
