Combined effect of deformation and slip velocity on the performance of a Ferrofluid squeeze film in infinitely long porous rough rectangular plates
This investigation aims to study the performance characteristic of a Ferrofluid based squeeze film in infinitely long porous transversely rough rectangular plates considering the effect of deformation and slip velocity. The magnetic fluid flow model of Neuringer and Rosenweig has been used. Beavers – Joseph slip model has been adopted and the stochastic method of Christensen and Tonder has been deployed for roughness. The associated stochastically averaged Reynolds’ type equation is solved. The results prove that the Ferrofluid lubrication offers a limited help in reducing the adverse effect of slip velocity, deformation and porosity, even in the case of negatively skewed roughness. However, the situation improves when variance (- ve) occurs and lower to moderate values of deformation is involved. Aside, this study shows that the slip coefficient has to be at the reduced level an improvement of the bearing performance.
