On the reynolds lubrication equation [PDF]
Let \(\Omega\) be a bounded open set in \(R^ 2\) with ``smooth'' boundary \(\partial \Omega\). \(\Omega\) is the region where two solid bodies are in contact. These two solids are moving and the average of their velocities is denoted by \(V=(V_ 1,V_ 2)\).

Formulation of the Reynolds equation on a time-dependent lubrication surface [PDF]
The Reynolds equation, which describes the lubrication effect arising through the interaction of two physical surfaces that are separated by a thin fluid film, is formulated with respect to a continuously evolving third surface that is described by a time-dependent curvilinear coordinate system.

Nonlinear Reynolds equation for hydrodynamic lubrication [PDF]
We derive a novel and rigorous correction to the classical Reynolds lubrication approximation for fluids with viscosity depending upon the pressure. Our analysis shows that the pressure dependence of viscosity leads to additional nonlinear terms related to the shear-rate and arising from a non negligible cross-film pressure.

The Compressible Reynolds Lubrication Equation [PDF]
We give a general derivation of the Reynolds lubrication equation. We then state and sketch the proofs of some of the authors’ recent results concerning the existence, uniqueness, and qualitative behavior of solutions to the compressible Reynolds lubrication equation. Finally, we give an application of our results to a problem in elastohydrodynamics.

Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions to the Compressible Reynolds Lubrication Equation [PDF]
Summary: We prove the existence of a solution to the compressible Reynolds lubrication equation and we show that our solution is unique in the class of nonnegative solutions (under some additional hypotheses, we prove that our solution is unique among all weak solutions).

A Multicoefficient Slip-Corrected Reynolds Equation for Micro-Thin Film Gas Lubrication [PDF]
This work investigates and analyzes the performance of conventional slip models among various regimes of Knudsen number and developes a new multicoefficient slip-velocity model, by using Taguchi quality control techniques and numerical analysis.

Micro Lubrication and Heat Transfer in Wedge-Shaped Channel Slider with Convex Surface Texture Based on Lattice Boltzmann Method [PDF]
Hydrodynamic lubrication is widely used between two relatively moving objects, and the effect of fluid flow state and temperature distribution on lubrication performance in wedge-shaped gaps is a popular topic to study.

An exact analytical solution for the second order slip-corrected Reynolds lubrication equation [PDF]
We derive a general slip-corrected compressible Reynolds lubrication equation, valid for any choice of the slip velocities, and show that it possesses the exact analytical solution.

CFD Investigation of Reynolds Flow around a Solid Obstacle
The Reynolds equation defines the lubrication flow between the smooth contacting parts. However, it is questionable that the equation can accurately anticipate pressure behavior involving undeformed solid asperity interactions that can occur under severe
