Definitions for "Hydrodynamic lubrication"
A condition of lubrication that involves the physical separation of sliding surfaces by a lubricant film.
a system of lubrication in which the shape and relative motion of the moving surfaces causes the formation of a fluid film having sufficient pressure to separate the surfaces.
Lubrication system where moving engine surfaces are actually separated by an oil film, eliminating all metal contact. Also referred to as "full film" lubrication.
