Abstract: The momentum equations are written for viscous fluids exhibiting magnetic stresses. The velocity profiles are deduced; then from continuity, a pressure differential equation, equivalent to Reynolds ...

Abstract: Geometric discontinuities of the solid boundaries at the inlet of narrow passages, as for slider bearings, piston rings etc. generate local phenomena where inertia plays an important role. ...

Abstract: Microscopic effects, generated by micromotions of particles in suspension in a viscous fluid, drastically change the character of the flow between solid walls. To the modified momentum and ...
