Lubrication of a long porous slider. V.S. Madalli, N.M. Bujurke and B.G. Mulimani. Tribol. Internat., June 1995, 28(4), 225--232.
The importance of porous sliders in fluid cushioned moving pads is discussed for hydrostatic thrust bearings and air cushioned vehicles. Sliding friction is greatly reduced when a fluid is forced between two solid surfaces moving relative to each other. A three-dimensional interpretation is presented. A mathematical interpretation shows how governing equations can be coupled into non-linear ordinary differential equations. Solutions involving long series with polynomial coefficients and computer extended series are discussed in a mathematical presentation. Variations of lift and drag coefficients are described up to moderately large values of Reynolds number. 10 refs.
