A critical examination of Constantinescu's theory of turbulent fluid film lubrication has been undertaken. Several of its anomalies were traced to violations of certain well-established basic phenomena in turbulent shear flows. A new approach, which is free of some of these objections, has been made. It holds promise of yielding a more consistent turbulent lubrication theory. Comparison is given on infinitely long bearing with Constantinescu's results.Contributed by the ASLE Technical Committee on Bearings and Bearing Lubrication and presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Lubrication Engineers held in Chicago, Illinois, May, 1964.
