29. Experiments on molecularly thin melted films at high constant shear rates reveal shear-thinning, which modifies the simple linear dependence of the friction on the shear rate which is characteristic of Newtonian fluids. Typically the viscosity scales as V-2/3, so that overall the friction increases as V1/3 at high shear rates. We ignore that feature and assume a constant viscosity.
30. The viscosity of extremely confined fluids is approximately six orders of magnitude higher than that of a fluid in the bulk [C. Drummond (private communication)]. For a lubricant such as OMCTS the viscosity when confined is η≈6×105 Pa s. Our estimate of β=ηA/h is obtained from this assuming a contact of diameter of approximately 10 μm and a distance between the mica sheets of around 1 nm.
