Pressure distribution curves are obtained for rolling cylinders lubricated by a Maxwell fluid, using a digital computer. Solutions are obtained for a ‘solid-like’ (vorticity neglected) fluid and for a fluid when vorticity is not neglected and these are compared with the Newtonian pressure distribution. A recently proposed upstream boundary condition is used throughout.
