Unified gas-kinetic simulation of slider air bearing

The unified gas-kinetic scheme (UGKS) is presented and used in this letter to study the slider air bearing problem. The UGKS solutions are first validated by comparison with direct simulation Monte Carlo results. After validation, the UGKS is used to study the air-bearing problem under different non...
