Slider Flying Characteristics over Bit Patterned Media Using the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo Method

This work presents numerical simulation results of head/disk interface for bit patterned media using the direct simulation Monte Carlo method. The effects of geometry of the bit pattern and of temperature on the air bearing force are studied.
