RINGPAK
RINGPAK is a simulation package that has been developed for the tribological analysis of a piston ringpack. The software involves a completely integrated modeling approach to address issues related to friction, lubrication, wear, blowby and oil consumption.;These intricately coupled phenomena are handled through detailed phenomenological models which enable the user to analyze various aspects of ringpack performance.
