About this document
Introduction to Lubrication Theory by Kaul Patrick is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes lubrication theory, which describes fluid flow in slowly varying channels where the cross-flow dimension is much smaller than other length scales. It presents the governing equations and does an order of magnitude analysis to derive dimensionless variables. This leads to a criterion for the rate of channel variation that satisfies assumptions of viscous forces balancing pressure forces and inertial forces being small.
