High Pressure Rheology for Quantitative Elastohydrodynamics

Computational elastohydrodynamics, a part of tribology, has existed for some reason. For low molecular weight liquids, it is possible to calculate, with a relatively low concentration of pressure, modelled in detail. Other successes have been more qualifying in friction or film thickness.
High Pressure Rheology for Quantitative Elastohydrodynamics is to provide a high-quality alternative to computable elastohydrodynamics. . The required high-pressure measurement techniques.
