Surface texturing is helpful in decreasing the friction, decreasing the wear, and increasing the fluid film stiffness. This investigation studies the influence of micro-pit arrangement on the behavior of gas parallel slider bearings (GPSB) by employing the multi-grid finite element method using the Matlab software. The pressure distribution of GPSB with micro-pits was investigated. The results showed that the position offset ratio of micro-pits had negligible effect on the maximum pressure and m
