Roughness induced variation as a new mechanism for hydrodynamic lubrication between parallel surfaces

This work proposes a new lift mechanism capable of explaining the hydrodynamic lift observed in real mechanical face seals with parallel surfaces. While it is well established that roughness is a key factor inducing such lift, its effect is commonly explained in the form of micro-wedges and asperity...
