Abstract

An expanded scheme of direct numerical solution method for solving the Reynolds' equation in the boundary fitted coordinate systems for the gas lubrication with ultra low clearance is presented. Skewed slider is calculated by this scheme and results are compared to the original direct numerical solution. The modified scheme has advantages in stability in high compressibility number region. At the lower A region the difference in results of original and modified method is several percents.
