Abstract
The paper examines the effect of velocity slip in a thin-walled infinitely short rough porous journal bearing operating under steady conditions in a hydrodynamic regime. The analysis extends earlier work [1] in which the tangential velocity at the surface of the porous material was neglected. The problem is solved analytically together with associated boundary conditions. It is found that there exists a strong interaction between roughness and slip effects. A comparison with the case of an infinitely long journal bearing [2] shows that there are significant qualitative and quantitative differences in load capacity and coefficient of friction. However, the slip-induced variations in friction force are similar to those for an infinitely long journal bearing.
