An Alternative Simulation Method for Calculation of Microgas Flows under Flying Head Sliders

The precise knowledge of the force and moment generated by the air squeezed under the read-write slider by the rotating disc is an engineering necessity in designing the air bearing surface slider. This paper reviews methods addressing the thin gas film bearings problem. It firstly reviews briefly t...
