Abstract:
In the present study, we concern laser induced heat generation and its effect on lubricant depletion on the multilayer disk structure. A mathematical model is applied to explore the local laser heating from the point of view of the interaction between the disk media and the electromagnetic wave. The absorption rate of optical energy in each layer of disk structure is derived from the Maxwell equations, which is incorporated into the energy equation by a source term. We simulate the unsteady heat transfer and lubricant depletion processes on a multilayer disk structure. The effect of multi-cycle heating on the lubricant depletion is investigated. Comparison between the present results and those obtained by applying a heat flux boundary condition is also made. The present simulations provide useful information on the media structure design of hard disk drives in heat assisted magnetic recording.
