The aim of this paper is to analyze the tribological perfor- mance of different periodic textures of liner surfaces under hy- drodynamic lubrication conditions, for an engine application. The impact of the different parameters of the periodic texture on its tribological performance is studied. First, a brief description of the numerical model is given. Then, the friction prediction tool is applied to the simulated periodic textures. Finally, opti- mal shapes and values of periodic textures are drawn out for the considered application.
