Abstract
One important application of viscous fluid dynamics is the flow in a thin layer bounded by solid surfaces in relative motion. Such a flow is cncountcrcd in bearings and seals, cams, and gears, as well as in other similar machine components. Actually, a number of topics already examined are of direct interest to the problem of hydrodynamic lubrication, such as Couette and Poiseuille parallel flows or the motion between two rotating cylinders.
