Reynolds equation is the one for controlling liquid lubrication pressure.By employing finite difference method and by choosing over-relaxation factor and iterative accuracy
the authors have proposed successive over relaxation(SOR) method for solving Reynolds equation.Application of the method to calculating the pressure distribution of radial bushing bearing helps to illustrate the approaches for determining the over-relaxation factor and iterative accuracy.On the bases of guaranteeing equation-solving accuracy
the SOR method has been proved to be of rapid convergence
