This paper presents a numerical investigation of lubricating slider bearings with conducting couple stress fluids using externally applied magnetics fields. The modified two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic couple stress Reynolds-type equation is obtained. This governing equation is resolved numerically by using finite difference scheme, which involves the Gauss–Seidel method to compute the bearing characteristics. Numerical results using different considered values of the couple stress and Hartman number are presented. These results demonstrate that the transverse magnetic field and couple stress effects are significant.

Exact solutions of the momentum equations of couple stress fluid are investigated. Making use of stream function, the two-dimensional flow equations are transformed into non-linear compatibility equation, and then it is linearized by vorticity function. Stream functions and velocity distributions are discussed for various flow situations.
