The combined effect of surface roughness and magnetic field on the performance characteristic of the circular plates lubricated with conducting couplestress fluid (CCSF) has been studied. On the basis of the Christensen Stochastic model, the generalized stochastic Reynold’s equation is derived. Modified equations for the nondimensional pressure, load load-carrying capacity, and squeeze film time are derived. The results are presented both numerically and graphically and compared with conducting smooth surface case. It is observed that the surface roughness effects are more pronounced for couplestresses as compared to nonconducting Newtonian fluid (NCNF) in the presence of magnetic field.

Combined effects of surface roughness and viscosity-pressure dependency on the couple stress squeeze film characteristics of parallel circular plates are presented. On the basis of Christensen’s stochastic theory, two types of one-dimensional roughness structures, namely, the radial roughness and azimuthal roughness patterns, are considered and the stochastic modified Reynolds equation for these two types of roughness patterns is derived for Stokes couple stress fluid by taking into account variation of viscosity with pressure. The standard perturbation technique is employed to solve the averaged Reynolds equation and closed form expressions for the mean fluid film pressure, load carrying capacity, and squeeze film time are obtained. It is found that the effects of couple stresses and viscosity-pressure dependency are to increase the load carrying capacity, and squeeze film time for both types of roughness patterns. The effect of azimuthal (radial) roughness pattern is to increase (decrease) these squeeze film characteristics as compared to the corresponding smooth case.

The effect of surface roughness on characteristics of magnetic fluid based squeeze film between porous circular plates is hypothetically analysed. The pressure distribution is obtained by solving concern Reynolds type equation with suitable boundary conditions and the result is utilized to obtain load carrying capacity. It is concluded that the load carrying capacity increases with increasing magnetization, while load carrying capacity decreases due to the standard deviation. It is observed that the negatively skewed roughness and negative mean increase the load carrying capacity. It is also observed that the magnetic fluid lubricant improves the performance of a bearing system, thereby, suggesting that the performance of the bearing with magnetic fluid lubricant is better than the conventional lubricant.

This investigation analyzes the performance of a magnetic fluid based squeeze film for a sphere in a rough spherical seat with slip velocity. The slip model of Beavers and Joseph has been deployed to study the effect of velocity slip while the stochastic model of Christensen and Tonder has been used to calculate the effect of surface roughness. The concerned statistically averaged Reynolds’ type equation is solved to derive the pressure distribution which results in the calculation of load carrying capacity. The results presented in graphical forms confirm that the adverse effect of slip velocity can be overcome to a large extent at least in the case of negatively skewed roughness. However, lower values of slip may be preferred for enhancing the performance characteristics of the bearing system. Besides, variance (−ve) provides a little support to improve the performance characteristics.

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.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) squeeze film characteristics between finite porous parallel rectangular plates with surface roughness. Design/methodology/approach – Based upon the MHD theory, this paper analyzes the surface roughness effect squeeze film characteristics between finite porous parallel rectangular plates lubricated with an electrically conducting fluid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Findings – It is found that the magnetic field effects characterized by the Hartmann number produce an increased value of the load carrying capacity and the response time as compared to the classical Newtonian lubricant case. The modified averaged stochastic Reynolds equation governing the squeeze film pressure is derived. Research limitations/implications – The present study has considered both Newtonian fluids and non-Newtonian liquids. Practical implications – The work represents a very useful source of information for researchers on the subject of MHD squeeze film with finite porous parallel rectangular plates lubricated with an electrically conducting fluid. Originality/value – This paper is relatively original and illustrates the squeeze film characteristics between finite porous parallel rectangular plates with MHD effects.

This paper aims to discuss the combined effect of longitudinal surface roughness and deformation on the behavior of a ferrofluid based squeeze film in conical plates. The Neuringer and Rosenweig model for ferrofluid flow has been considered resorting to an unusual form of the magnitude of the magnetic field. For the evaluation of surface roughness the stochastic model of Christensen and Tonder has been adopted. The concerned stochastically averaged Reynolds type equation is solved to obtain the pressure distribution which results in the calculation of load carrying capacity. The results establish that the positive effect of magnetization adds to the positive effect of longitudinal surface roughness under restricted circumstances. However, for an overall improved performance the bearing deformation must be addressed carefully as it has a significant effect on the squeeze film behavior. Besides, this article offers an additional degree of freedom through the magnitude of the magnetic field for designing the bearing system.
