| الوصف: | The hydrodynamic regime of the Stribeck curve giving the friction coefficient $\mu$ as a function of the dimensionless relative sliding speed (the Sommerfeld number, $S$) of two contacting non-conformal surfaces is usually considered trivial, with $\mu \sim S$. We predict that for conformal surfaces contacting over large areas, a combination of independent length scales gives rise to a universal power-law with a non-trivial exponent, $\mu\sim S^{2/3}$, for a thick lubrication film. Deviations as the film thins (decreasing $S$) may superficially resemble the onset of elastohydrodynamic lubrication, but are due to a crossover between hydrodynamic regimes. Our experiments as well as recent measurements of chocolate lubrication confirm these predictions. Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, RevTeX 4.2; supplemental material as SM.pdf |
