Abstract In this paper we prove a convergence result for a discretization of the three-dimensional stationary compressible Navier–Stokes equations assuming an ideal gas pressure law $p(\rho )=a \rho ^{\gamma }$ with $\gamma> \frac{3}{2}$. It is the first convergence result for a numerical method with adiabatic exponents $\gamma $ less than $3$ when the space dimension is 3. The considered numerical scheme combines finite volume techniques for the convection with the Crouzeix–Raviart finite element for the diffusion. A linearized version of the scheme is implemented in the industrial software CALIF3S developed by the French Institut de Radioprotection et de Sûreté Nucléaire.

The performance of a cylindrical bore bearing fed by two axial grooves orthogonal to the load line is analyzed by solving the Navier-Stokes equations using the finite element method. This produces detailed information about the three-dimensional velocity and pressure field within the hydrodynamic film. It is also shown that the method may be applied to long bearing geometries where recirculatory flows occur and in which the governing equations are elliptic. As expected the analysis confirms that lubricant inertia does not affect bearing performance significantly.
