The paper describes a theoretical analysis of the effects of unidirectional surface roughness on the response of a squeeze film between two porous rectangular plates of finite dimensions. The problem is solved analytically using Fourier expansions. It is shown that the nominal geometry as characterized by the aspect ratio of the plates has a profound effect on the system.
