چکیده

This paper describes benchmark comparisons for a GaAs n+ − n − n+ diode. A global kinetic model is simulated, and compared with various realizations of the hydrodynamic model, depending on mobility calibration. Finally, the channel region alone is simulated, with interior boundary conditions derived from the kinetic model, by use of the high-field (augmented drift-diffusion) model.

A Domain Decomposition Method for Silicon Devices

A mesoscopic/macroscopic model for self-consistent charged transport under high field scaling conditions corresponding to drift-collisions balance was derived by Cercignani, Gamba, and Levermore in [4]. The model was summarized in relationship to semiconductors in [2]. In [3], a conceptual domain decomposition method was implemented, based upon use of the drift-diffusion model in highly-doped r...

Particle, Kinetic, and Hydrodynamic Models of Swarming

We review the state-of-the-art in the modelling of the aggregation and collective behavior of interacting agents of similar size and body type, typically called swarming. Starting with individual-based models based on “particle”-like assumptions, we connect to hydrodynamic/macroscopic descriptions of collective motion via kinetic theory. We emphasize the role of the kinetic viewpoint in the mod...

Applicability of the High Field Model: A Preliminary Numerical Study

In a companion presentation, we have discussed the theory of a mesoscopic/macroscopic model, which can be viewed as an augmented drift-diffusion model. Here, we describe how that model is used. The device we consider for this presentation is the one dimensional GaAs n+-n-n+ structure of length 0.8μm. First, a full hydrodynamic (HD) model, proven reliable when compared with Monte Carlo simulatio...

Numerical High-Field Limits in Two-Stream Kinetic Models and 1D Aggregation Equations

Numerical resolution of two-stream kinetic models in strong aggregative setting is considered. To illustrate our approach, we consider an 1D kinetic model for chemotaxis in hydrodynamic scaling and the high field limit of the Vlasov-Poisson-Fokker-Planck system. A difficulty is that, in this aggregative setting, weak solutions of the limiting model blow up in finite time, therefore the scheme s...

Separation efficiency of a hydrodynamic separator using a 3D CFD approach Modélisation 3D multi-échelle du transport particulaire dans un séparateur hydrodynamique

The aim of this study is to investigate the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to predict the solid separation efficiency of a hydrodynamic separator. The numerical difficulty concerns the discretization of the geometry to simulate both the global behaviour and the local phenomena that occur nearby the screen. In this context, a CFD multiscale approach was developed: a global model (at t...
