TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize advances in analytical and numerical modeling, draw attention to the thermodynamic aspects of cavitation, and reflect on physical or experimental observations while reflecting on physical and experimental observations.
Abstract: Even though the list of references associated with this review is rather extensive, in no way does it exhaust the vast literature dedicated to the study of cavitation. The intent was to summarize (i) advances in analytical and numerical modelling, (ii) draw attention to the thermodynamic aspects of cavitation, and (iii) do so while reflecting on physical or experimental observations.

TL;DR: In this article, a historical account of the development of squeeze films from the original Reynolds-Stefan equation to the present time is given, including the effects of inertia, variable viscosity, non-Newtonian fluids, surf ace tension, dynamic loading and surface roughness.

TL;DR: In this article, the hydrodynamic load on an infinitely long rigid beam of zero thickness that is undergoing small amplitude oscillations is calculated for the presence of a solid surface an arbitrary distance from the beam.
Abstract: The hydrodynamic loading on a solid body moving in a viscous fluid can be strongly affected by its proximity to a surface. In this article, we calculate the hydrodynamic load on an infinitely long rigid beam of zero thickness that is undergoing small amplitude oscillations. The presence of a solid surface an arbitrary distance from the beam is rigorously accounted for using a boundary integral formulation.
