Squeeze film lubrication of coupled stress electrically conducting inertial fluids in wide parallel rectangular conjunctions subjected to a magnetic field

The paper presents analytical solution of squeeze film characteristics in wide parallel rectangular conjunctions with incompressible electrically conducting couple stress fluids subjected to a magnetic field. Analytical expressions are obtained by combined solution of modified Reynolds equation and...

description The paper presents analytical solution of squeeze film characteristics in wide parallel rectangular conjunctions with incompressible electrically conducting couple stress fluids subjected to a magnetic field.

It is shown that, in general, couple stress fluids enhance the load carrying capacity of the contact and inhibit the incidence of thin films which can result in direct contact of surfaces.
