Abstract: The flow of fluids near the slide surface is analyzed in the work introduction. Surface is considered as partly hydrophobic, depending on the surface energy for different types of material surfaces. There is point out the relationship of the adhesion force to liquid/surface interaction. This creates a new boundary condition, different from the adhesion conditions. On the adhesion force basis is assessing the conditions of cavitation creation, depending on the surface energy change.
