The mathematical modeling of aerostatic porous bearings, represented by the Reynolds equation, depends on the assumptions for the flow in the porous medium. One proposes a modified Reynolds equation based on the quadratic Forchheimer assumption, which can be used for both linear and quadratic conditions. Numerical results are compared to those obtained with the linear Darcy model. It is shown that, the non-dimensional parameter Φ, related to non-linear effects, strongly affects the bearing dynamic characteristics, but for values of Φ > 10, the results tend to those obtained with the linear model.

In this chapter, the non-Darcy model is employed for porous media filled with nanofluid. Both natural and forced convection heat transfer can be analyzed with this model. The governing equations in forms of vorticity stream function are derived and then they are solved via control volume-based finite element method (CVFEM). The effect of Darcy number on nanofluid flow and heat transfer is examined.
