Abstract
This paper analyzes ferrofluid squeeze film for spherical and conical bearings with a constant external magnetic field applied in the direction transverse to that of fluid flow. However, in this analysis, which accounts for the rotation of magnetic particles, no restriction is imposed on magnetization vector. The governing equations of motion are nonlinear coupled equations and are solved using perturbation method in terms of non-dimensional Brownian relaxation time parameter. The effect of magnetic fluid parameters on various bearing characteristics is studied numerically.
