Thin film lubrication (TFL) is a condition in which the lubricating features between two surfaces in relative motion are determined by the combination of the properties of the surfaces and the lubricant and viscosity ...

Under conditions of low speed, small viscosity and molecularly smooth tribe-surfaces, the behavior of lubricant film in the nano scale is different from that in elas-tohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) and boundary lubri...
