Abstract
The pivotal aim of this paper is to develop the wavelet lifting method for the numerical solution of the micropolar lubrication problem of porous journal bearings. To ensure the applicability of the proposed method initially, test problems are considered and the numerical findings are presented in figures and tables elucidate that, the proposed method is more efficient and promising with the consumption of lesser computational CPU time. Subsequently, the effect of micropolar fluid on the porous journal bearing is analyzed by solving the corresponding non-dimensional Reynolds equation of the lubrication problem is considered. The obtained results for pressure distribution and load carrying capacity with varied parameters show that the squeeze film pressure and load carrying capacity are significantly increased by the micropolar fluid effect as compared to the Newtonian case.
