What is EHD film thickness?
Surprisingly, when two lubricated solids are heavily loaded against one another and when a motion is applied to the solids surfaces, these two solids may not be touching one another (see Figure 1, left)! This […]

Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL): Theory and Definition
Definition of Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication – or EHL – is a lubrication regime (a type of hydrodynamic lubrication (HL)) in which significant elastic deformation of the surfaces takes place and it considerably alters […]
Reynolds Equation: Derivation and Solution
Reynolds equation is a partial differential equation that describes the flow of a thin lubricant film between two surfaces. It is derived from the Navier-Stokes equations and is one of the fundamental equations of the […]
