Numerical Simulation of the Two-Hydrodynamic Film Thickness

We investigate, from a numerical point of view, the coefficients identification problem, for the Elrod–Adams model of cavitation, in the frame of the hydrodynamic lubrication. We relax the control problem, and propose a relaxed augmented Lagrangian algorithm, with a given loop length. Some numerical results are given.
