Vane pump performance is affected by the leakage and the friction between the relative moving parts. So, it is very important to understand the characteristics of lubricating relative moving parts in order to improve the relative performance of the vane pump. Therefore, many studies on the lubrication characteristics of the relative moving parts have been progress. Shape, mechanisms, operating conditions, clearance and material properties were trying to identify the lubricating properties as theoretical or experimental from a variety of perspectives. In this paper, using a commercial computational fluid dynamics(CFD) got a change of lubrication characteristics of the vane using a surface texturing. The results showed that the streamlines, pressure distributions, variations of friction force and leakage for surface texturing.
