Abstract: The article presents selected numerical methods that are used to solve equations representing the mathematical formulation of engineering problems. The examples of the use of numerical methods in tribology are shown in this paper as well. The way of creating a computer program based on the theory of hydrodynamic lubrication announced by Reynolds is discussed. This program uses the finite difference method to calculate the distribution of hydrodynamic pressure in the radial bearing.
