... is 1.0. Now, let the working gas be changed to helium, with the same fixed parameter values as for the air bearing. The viscosity of helium at atmospheric conditions is about the same as that for air, while the mean free path of helium at atmospheric conditions is nearly three times that for air...

... and moment was then created using the MGL model with the NFZ condition. This force and moment was superimposed to the air bearing force calculated by the MGL model calculated by the MGL model when the nominal plane of the slider and the disk are not in contact. The total additional air bearing force due...
