Abstract
Abstract The lubrication of lightly loaded cylinders with rotating and normal motion was investigated using a non-newtonian power law fluid under cavitation boundary conditions. The load capacity and frictional drag increase as the squeeze velocity increases. This increase is enhanced by an increase in the flow behaviour index of the lubricant. However, when the two surfaces move apart these results are reversed. The effect of the flow behaviour index on the location of the point of cavitation does not seem to be very significant.
