Abstract

We consider the flow of a compressed Newtonian fluid in a biological bearing that has a porous wall, i.e., in a hip joint. The system is modeled by two curvilinear surfaces and a porous wall bounded by a curved impermeable surface. The flow in the gap is considered with account for inertia forces. The Navier–Stokes and Poisson equations used are separated with the aid of the Morgan‐Cameron approximation. A solution which relies on the averaging of inertia forces is obtained in a closed form. A bearing of spherical shape is considered as an example.
