Derivation of the Reynolds equation for lubrication of a rotating shaft. (English) Zbl 1046.35006

The paper deals with mathematical modelling of lubrication process of a slipper bearing. By the method of asymptotic expansion and dimensional reduction the Reynolds equation is derived from the Navier-Stokes system on a thin gap between two coaxial cylinders in relative motion. In addition, convergence of the corrected solutions is proved.
