Abstract: A new model of the thin viscous fluid film, constrained between two translating, flexible surfaces, is presented in this paper: The unsteady inertia of the film is included in the model. The ...

Abstract: Stability of a rotating disk under rotating, arbitrarily large damping forces is investigated analytically. Points possibly residing on the stability boundary are located exactly in parameter space ...

Abstract: The instability mechanisms of a rotating disk, coupled to a rigid surface through a viscous fluid film at the interface, are investigated analytically. The fluid in the film is driven ...
