Abstract: Abstract Lubricating films are studied using a simple microscopic model via molecular dynamics simulation. This model consists of discrete hard-core particles sandwiched between two hard flat walls and one wall moves with constant velocity. In the steady state of this system, it is observed that strong shear induces “freezing” and the interface between solid and fluid is formed autonomously. Regardless of existence of interface, it is confirmed in this simple model that the profiles of velocity and temperature are described by macroscopic continuum description and the properties of kinetic friction is well-reproduced.
