Abstract

Theoretical modeling of surface texturing in hydrodynamic lubrication is a necessary first step to obtain favorable effect of the texturing. This invited review presents a comprehensive summary of the modeling of several basic applications that was done mostly by the author’s group at Technion and published in the relevant literature.
