Mathematical Modeling of newly Designed Ferrofluid Based Slider Bearing Including Effects of Porosity, Anisotropic Permeability, Slip Velocity at both the Ends, and Squeeze Velocity

The present paper proposes the mathematical model of ferrofluid lubricated slider bearing with an inclined pad surface ( plate or pad ) including combined effects of porosity, anisotropic permeability, slip velocity at both the ends, and squeeze velocity under an oblique magnetic field. From the Reynolds’s equation of the above model, expressions for bearing characteristics like load capacity, friction on moving slider, coefficient of friction and centre of pressure are obtained which can be solved numerically to examine the exploration of its possible effects on the system. Various sizes of the porous matrix at both the ends are also discussed for the possible optimization of the bearing characteristics.
