Modeling the Lubrication of Hydrodynamic Bearings Using Ferrofluids

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study investigates the lubrication performance of hydrodynamic journal bearings using ferrofluids-colloidal suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles as smart lubricants. By leveraging the Shliomis model, which accounts for rotational viscosity and thermal effects, the work integrates magnetic field dynamics into a modified Reynolds framework.
