Abstract
This paper investigates the influences of fluid inertia forces in hydromagnetic sphere-plate squeeze films. Applying the averaged inertia principle, a megnetohydrodynamic pressure gradient equation has been derived. From the results obtained, the combined effects of fluid inertia forces and electrical conducting fluids in the presence of external magnetic fields provide better squeeze film characteristics, and lengthen the operating life of the sphere-plate system as compared to the non-inertia non-conducting-fluid case.
