Abstract

The current research examines how a long cylinder, and an infinitely flat surface are affected by surface roughness, MHD, couple stress, and slip velocity using the stochastic theory of hydrodynamic lubrication of rough surfaces as developed by Christensen. Squeeze film time, load carrying capacity, and pressure are calculated using a derived mathematical form of Reynolds' modified equation that accounts for surface roughness and coupling stress. The amount of time needed to squeeze a film under a specific pressure and load can be determined using an analytical method called Reynolds' equation. The lubrication characteristics are graphically represented for various parameters. When a magnetic field occurs and the slip velocity increases, the pressure of the squeeze film, its capacity to carry loads, and the time it takes are all significantly increased. The lubricating properties caused a decrease or increase in the values of the longitudinal (transverse) roughness parameter.
