Gas film thickness significantly influences the performance prediction of Gas Foil Thrust Bearings (GFTB).However, the Classical Model (CM) for GFTBs exhibits inaccuracies in describing gas film thickness.In this paper, we explore the differences in the details of gas film thickness modeling and propose a Parallel Segmentation PS5 Model (PSM), whic
