%X We study the time dependence of the (average) interfacial separation between an elastic solid with a flat surface and a rigid solid with a randomly rough surface, squeezed together in a fluid. We use an analytical theory describing the fluid flow factors, based on the Persson contact mechanics theory and the Bruggeman effective medium theory, to calculate the removal of the fluid from the contacting interface of the two solids. In order to test this approach, we have performed simple squeeze-out experiments. The experimental results are compared to the theoretical predictions.
