Fluid squeeze-out between solids with rough surfaces
B. Lorenz, B. N. J. Persson
We study the fluid squeeze-out from the interface between an elastic solid with a flat surface and a rigid solid with a randomly rough surface. As an application we discuss fluid s…
On the dependence of the leak-rate of seals on the skewness of the surface height probability distribution
B. Lorenz, B. N. J. Persson
Seals are extremely useful devices to prevent fluid leakage. We present experimental result which show that the leak-rate of seals depend sensitively on the skewness in the height…
Leak-rate of seals: effective medium theory and comparison with experiment
B. Lorenz, B. N. J. Persson
Seals are extremely useful devices to prevent fluid leakage. We present an effective medium theory of the leak-rate of rubber seals, which is based on a recently developed contact…
Leak-rate of seals: comparison of theory with experiment
B. Lorenz, B. N. J. Persson
Seals are extremely useful devices to prevent fluid leakage. We present experimental results for the leak-rate of rubber seals, and compare the results to a novel theory, which is…
