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 with inertia effects. Using the Christensen stochastic model of a surface roughness a 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.
