The flow of a power-law lubricant in a squeeze film bearing is considered. The bearing is modelled by two curvilinear rough surfaces. The flow in the bearing clearance is considered without inertia. Using the Christensen stochastic model of a surface roughness the closed-form solution is obtained. A step bearing and a spherical bearing are discussed as examples. It is shown that the power-law exponent and the roughness considerably influence the bearing performance.
