...Boualem Chetti Purpose This paper presents an analysis of the static characteristics of two-lobe journal bearings lubricated with couple stress fluids operating in a turbulent regime. The modified Reynolds equation for a couple stress fluids taking into consideration the effect of turbulence...

.... Design/methodology/approach – A numerical analysis of the behavior of an elastohydrodynamic for cylindrical journal bearing finite dimension coated with antifriction material in turbulent regime, is implemented using the code-ANSYS CFX. This analysis is performed by solving the Navier–Stocks equations...
