...Maik Duwensee; Frank E. Talke; Shoji Suzuki; Judy Lin; David Wachenschwanz The direct simulation Monte Carlo method is used to study rarefied gas flow between an inclined plane slider bearing and a nanochannel representing one groove in discrete track recording head/disk interfaces. The forces...

... with minute grooves. In the simulations, by incorporating the interactions between molecules and the side surfaces of a groove, the Monte Carlo method based on the Ising model was extended to the case of a surface with grooves and applied to simulate the spreading of non-polar lubricant inside a groove...

...) condition, which was discovered with the direct simulation Monte Carlo method (DSMC). It shows that the MGL model can also provide bounded pressure and resultant force in the presence of contact. Moreover, the MGL results agree well with the DSMC results.
