... Reynolds equation is proposed. The transient modified average Reynolds equation is established with the average flow method. The effect of non-Newtonian lubricant, surface roughness, external load, relative clearance, and accelerating time on the dynamic behavior of journal bearings during start-up...

...M. El Khlifi; D. Souchet; M. Hajjam; F. Bouyahia A three-dimensional thermohydrodynamic model is developed to predict non-Newtonian lubricant behavior in slider bearings and channel flow. The generalized Reynolds equation is established using the concept of generalized Newtonian fluids (GNF...
