A phenomenological model for rarefied gas flows in thin film slider bearings /

We analyze rarefied gas flows in lubricating films that form between the read/write head and rotating recording medium in computer hard drives. A modified slip-corrected Reynolds lubrication equation is derived for arbitrary Knudsen numbers using the Navier-Stokes equation with consistent slip bound...
