Squeezing of Bingham Fluid Between Two Plane Annuli

Abstract

In this study, the presence of Bingham fluid between two parallel plane annuli with constant squeeze motion is theoretically analyzed. The effect of radius of separation on core thickness, pressure distribution, and squeeze force for different values of Bingham number has been investigated. By considering equilibrium of an element of the core in the fluid, thickness of the rigid plug core has been calculated numerically. The properties of the squeeze film are investigated through the non-Newtonian effects on the squeeze force of the plane for various annular spaces. � Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd 2018.
