- In this paper numerical simulations of particle migration in lubricating grease flow is presented. The rheology of three lithium greases with NLGI grade 00, 1, and 2 respectively are considered. The grease is modeled as a single-phase Herschel-Bulkley fluid, and the particle migration has been considered in two different grease pockets formed between two concentric cylinders where the inner cylinder is rotating and driving the flow. In the wide grease pocket the width of the gap is much smaller compared to the axial length scale, enabling a one-dimensional flow. In the narrow pocket the axial- and radial length is of the same order, yielding a three-dimensional flow. It was found that the change in flow characteristics due to the influence of the pocket lateral boundaries when going from the wide- to the narrow pocket, leads to a significantly shorter migration time. Comparing the results with an existing migration model treating the radial component contribution it was concluded that a solution to the flow in the whole domain is needed together with a higher order numerical scheme to obtain a full solution to the particle migration. This is more pronounced in the narrow pocket due to gradients in the flow induced by the lateral boundaries.
