A theoretical study is made of the squeeze film behavior between two rectangular plates, one with a porous facing, in the presence of a uniform transverse magnetic field. Results are presented for pressure distribution, load capacity, and film thickness as functions of time. It is shown that the application of a magnetic field improves the squeeze-film action.

The present theoretical study investigates the effects of surface roughness and couple-stress fluid between two rectangular plates, of which an upper rough plate has a roughness structure and the lower plate has a porous material in the presence of transverse magnetic field. The lubricant in the gap is taken to be a viscous, incompressible, and electrically conducting couple-stress fluid. This gap is separated by a film thickness H which is made up of nominal smooth part and rough part. The modified Reynolds equation in the film region is derived for one-dimensional longitudinal roughness structure and solved numerically using multigrid method. The numerical results for various physical parameters are discussed in terms of pressure distribution, load capacity, and squeeze film time of the bearing surfaces. Our results show that, the pressure distribution, load capacity and squeeze film time are predominant for larger values of Hartman number and roughness parameter, and for smaller values of couple-stress parameters when compared to their corresponding classical cases.

An analysis of hydrodynamic squeeze films is presented for the case of an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a magnetic field. Circular plates and infinitely long rectangular plates are considered with a uniformly applied magnetic field. The relationships between fluid-film thickness and time are determined analytically and compared with the ordinary hydrostatic squeeze films. It is shown that the application of a magnetic field improves the squeeze-film action.

The squeeze film behavior between two circular disks is analyzed when one disk has a porous facing and approaches the other disk with uniform velocity. The modified Reynolds equation governs the pressure in the film region while the pressure in the porous facing satisfies the Laplace equation. These equations are solved in a closed form and expressions are derived for pressure distribution, load capacity, and time of approach for the plates in terms of Fourier-Bessel series. It is found that an enhanced value for the permeability parameter diminishes the pressure over the entire disk and also evens out the pressure distribution; however, there is an adverse effect on the load capacity and time of approach. Unlike in the nonporous case, the entire fluid can be squeezed out in a finite time resulting in actual contact of the disks. The porous effects are shown to predominate at very low film thickness values.

The present paper proposes a new model for lubrication of the hip joint with hyaluronan solutions, considering the squeeze film process of non-Newtonian fluid between rigid spherical surfaces. The heological model that approximately describes the behaviour of the synovial fluid is the power law model. For the considered case, the pressure distribution, the load capacity, the film thickness and the friction coefficient have been determinated. The conclusions of the paper offer an explication to the development of the osteoarthritis and to the problems of the arthritic patients.

The squeeze film between two rectangular plates when one has a porous facing is studied theoretically. The problem is described by the modified Reynolds equation in the film region and the Laplace equation in the porous region. Results are presented for pressure distribution, load-carrying capacity, and film thickness as functions of time in series form. The effect of the porous facing on the squeeze film behavior is discussed and found to be important.
