On the performance of dynamically loaded journal bearings lubricated with couple stress fluids

Effect of Couple Stress Lubrication on Symmetric Hole-Entry Hybrid Journal Bearing

“…He observed a lower flow rate for a bearing operating with the couple stress parameter. Wang et al [14,15] derived Reynolds equation for journal bearings using couple stress fluid. They presented the various characteristics of bearing for different operating parameters.…”

Multigrid Method for the Solution of Combined Effect of Viscosity Variation and Surface Roughness on the Squeeze Film Lubrication of Journal Bearings

“…Lin 2 studied the static and dynamic behaviours of squeeze films using a couple stress fluids in a short journal bearing. The couple stress fluid model were studied by Lin et al [3][4][5] , Wang et al 6 , Guha et al 7 and many researchers have analysed the hydrodynamic lubrication problems with different journal bearing geometries. Spikes 8 showed the behaviour of lubricants in contacts, current understanding and future possibilities.…”

On the Exact Solutions of Couple Stress Fluids

“…Several models have been presented to explain the behavior of these fluids. In the theory of non-Newtonian fluids, the couple stress fluid introduced by Stokes [1] has gained considerable attention and has been widely studied by researchers [2][3][4][5][6][7]. Couple stress fluid has been the subject of interest, due to its numerous industrial and scientific applications such as extrusion of polymer fluids, solidification of liquid crystals and animal bloods.…”
