The potential of methods of computer molecule dynamics for determining the characteristics of lubricating layers are considered for hydrodynamic and boundary lubrication regimes. Examples of finding parameters of adsorption, supermolecular self-organization, and rheology in lubricating layers are given for model lubricants.
