...Wei Hua; Shengkai Yu; Weidong Zhou; Kyaw Sett Myo An unstructured triangular mesh is successfully applied to the static simulations of air bearing sliders due to its flexibility, accuracy and mesh efficiency in capturing various complex rails and recess wall regions of air bearing surface, as well...

... a greater flying height loss. We used a useful and valid method, in which the DTM grooves are virtually distributed on an ABS instead of on the medium, to investigate the characteristics of an air bearing slider flying over DTM. The pressure distribution due to DTM forms a new “microbrush” pattern...
