Hydrodynamic Lubrication (HL))

Hydrodynamic Lubrication (HL): Theory and Definition

16.02.2017 tribonet

Definition of Hydrodynamic Lubrication (HL) Hydrodynamic lubrication is a term that defines a situation in which two rubbing surfaces are separated by a thin film of a lubricant. This situation is often beneficial and lubrication […]
