Abstract

In this work, the effect of lubrication forces to the rotation of the eye is investigated where the eye is modeled as a perfect sphere and the movement is restricted to Listing's Law. For the lubrication forces, the nondimensional forms of Navier-Stokes and continuity equations are found, the boundary conditions are applied and the torques are derived. Then, Listing's constraint is introduced to the model and a potential function and lubrication as a damping force has been added. Using lubrication as a damping force, an optimum potential function for the model is derived.
