Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate squeezing and rotating motions between two rough parallel circular discs lubricated by piezo – viscous couple stress lubricant with pressure-dependent viscosity variation. Design/methodology/approach – Based upon the Stokes couple stress theory, Barus viscosity-pressure dependency relation and Christensen rough surfaces model, squeeze film characteristics between two rough parallel circular discs are obtained. Findings – According to the results, it is found that, the combined effects of couple stresses and viscosity-pressure dependency increases squeeze film performance with respect to the classical Newtonian iso-viscous (constant viscosity) lubricant. However, increasing the rotational inertia parameter reduces squeeze film characteristics. On the other hand, depending on the structure of surface roughness, the squeeze film characteristics can be increased or decreased. Furthermore, results show that the surface roughness with circular pattern increases squeeze film characteristics, while the surface roughness with radial pattern will decrease it. Originality/value – This paper is relatively original and describes the squeeze film characteristics between two parallel circular discs with viscosity-pressure dependency, rotational inertia, couple stresses and surface roughness effects.

In this paper, the squeeze-film lubrication theory between two isotropic porous rectangular plates has been advanced to analyse the effects of couple stresses arising due to the presence of microstructure additives in the lubricant, using the Stokes theory of couple-stress fluids. The most general form of the modified Reynolds equation is derived for the squeeze-film lubrication of the porous rectangular plates by taking into account of the velocity slip at the porous interface. An eigentype of expression is obtained for the squeeze-film pressure. The effects of the isotropic permeability, the couple stresses and the velocity slip parameters on the characteristics of the squeeze-film lubrication are discussed. A significant increase in the load-carrying capacity and the delayed squeeze-film time are observed for the couple-stress fluids in comparison with Newtonian fluids.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate squeezing and rotating motions between two rough parallel circular discs lubricated by ferro-fluid couple stress lubricant. Design/methodology/approach Based upon the Stokes couple stress theory, ferro-hydrodynamic model of Shliomis and Christensen rough surfaces model, squeeze-film characteristics between two rough parallel circular discs considering rotational inertia effects are obtained. Findings According to the results, it is found that the combined effects of couple stresses and ferro-fluid lubricants increases squeeze film performance with respect to the classical Newtonian lubricant. However, increasing the rotational inertia parameter reduces squeeze film characteristics. On the other hand, depending on the structure of surface roughness, the squeeze film characteristics can be increased or decreased. Furthermore, results show that the surface roughness with circular pattern increases squeeze film characteristics, while the surface roughness with radial pattern will decrease it. Originality/value This paper is relatively original and describes the squeeze film characteristics between two parallel circular discs with ferro- fluid, rotational inertia, couple stresses and surface roughness effects.

The paper presents, the multigrid method for the solution of combined effect of surface roughness and viscosity variation on the squeeze film lubrication of a short journal bearing operating with micropolar fluid. The modified Reynolds equation which incorporates the variation of viscosity in micropolar fluid is analysed using Multigrid method. The governing modified Reynolds equation is solved numerically for the fluid film pressure and bearing characteristics viz. load carrying capacity and squeeze time. The analysis of the results predicts that, the viscosity variation factor decreases the load carrying capacity and squeeze film time, resulting into a longer bearing life. The results are compared with the corresponding analytical solutions.
