Abstract:PurposeThis paper aims to investigate analytically the air bearing pressure and film spacing of the linear head/tape interface by numerical iterations between the one‐dimensional compressible Reynolds and Bernoulli tape equations.Design/methodology/approachIn order to account for the molecular rarefaction effect of the ultra‐thin gas lubrication, the pressure flow rate with three optimal adjustable coefficients was implemented into the steady state Reynolds equation. Using the central finite difference approac… Show more
