Abstract
The object of the present work is the numerical analysis of the computer hard disk slider. The pressure between slider and disk surfaces is calculated using the Boundary Fitted Coordinate System and Divergence Formulation for the nonlinear Reynolds' equation solution. The optimization scheme is applied to search for the steady state position of the slider. The simplified method is given for the case of the fixed inclined pad. The film thickness ratios and pitching and rolling angles are considered as alternative choice of the slider's coordinates. The behavior of the objective function for the Negative Pressure slider is studied in details. Methods of conjugate directions and feasible directions are applied.
