Abstract
As was seen in Chap. 5, both classical approaches to our problem — the small perturbation method and the tangent plane approximation — cannot cover the whole range of practical problems. The combination of these two methods, or the two-scale model, outlined in Sect. 5.5, extends the potential of the calculations, but has a drawback: some arbitrary parameter arises which divides roughness into two classes — large- and small-scale. For the continuous spectrum of roughness this parameter cannot be uniquely determined and its choice may affect the results of the calculations.
