Fluid squeeze-out between solids with rough surfaces

Soft Condensed Matter 2015-03-14 v1

Abstract

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 squeeze-out between a tire tread block and a road surface. Some implications for the leakage of seals are discussed, and experimental data are presented to test the theory.
