Recent research has shown that, when a liquid is partially wetting or non-wetting against a very smooth solid surface, the conventional no-slip boundary condition can break down. Under such circumstances, the Reynolds equation is no longer applicable. In the current paper, the Reynolds equation is extended to consider the sliding, hydrodynamic lubrication condition where the lubricant has a no-slip boundary condition against the moving solid surface but can slip at a critical shear stress against the stationary surface. It is shown that such a ‘half-wetted’ bearing is able to combine good load support resulting from fluid entrainment with very low friction due to very low or zero Couette friction.

AbstractThe slip boundary condition can be a very useful relation when some specific problems of hydromechanics are considered. According to the classical form of this condition, the slip of a fluid with respect to the solid wall should occur even at a very low velocity of motion. However, both theoretical analysis and certain empirical data suggest that there must be a limit value of the wall shear stress, below which the slip does not occur. According to the simplified balance of adhesive and gravitational forces, a simple experimental method for determining this stress has been proposed and applied in this paper.

A fluid-fluid interface that joins a solid surface forms a common line. If the common line moves along the solid, a mutual displacement process is involved and is studied here. Some simple experiments motivate the formulation of the basic assumption of the analysis. The basic assumption is a formalization of the idea that the fluid-fluid interface rolls on or unrolls off the solid. This forms an axiom for the mostly kinematical analysis that follows. The predictions are tested through a series of qualitative experiments. The role of the no-slip boundary condition at the solid surface is discussed.

It has been argued that the no-slip boundary condition, applicable when a viscous fluid flows over a solid surface, may be an inevitable consequence of the fact that all such surfaces are, in practice, rough on a microscopic scale: the energy lost through viscous dissipation as a fluid passes over and around these irregularities is sufficient to ensure that it is effectively brought to rest. The present paper analyses the flow over a particularly simple model of such a rough wall to support these physical ideas.
