Reynolds equation is a fundamental equation in hydrodynamics that describes the flow of a viscous fluid between two surfaces. It is particularly important in the study of lubrication theory, which deals with the behavior of lubricants in mechanical systems like bearings and seals. The equation is derived from the Navier-Stokes equations by making certain simplifying assumptions, including the assumption of a thin film of fluid.
