Diffusive Semiconductor Moment Equations Using Fermi-Dirac Statistics
Diffusive moment equations with an arbitrary number of moments are formally derived from the semiconductor Boltzmann equation employing a moment method and a Chapman-Enskog expansion. The moment equations are closed by employing a generalized Fermi-Dirac distribution function obtained from entropy maximization. The current densities allow for a drift-diffusion-type formulation or a “symmetrized...
متن کاملA Hierarchy of Diffusive Higher-Order Moment Equations for Semiconductors
A hierarchy of diffusive partial differential equations is derived by a moment method and a Chapman-Enskog expansion from the semiconductor Boltzmann equation assuming dominant collisions. The moment equations are closed by employing the entropy maximization principle of Levermore. The new hierarchy contains the well-known drift-diffusion model, the energy-transport equations, and the six-momen...
متن کاملComputation of Diffusive Shock Acceleration Using Stochastic Differential Equations
The present work considers diffusive shock acceleration at non-relativistic shocks using a system of stochastic differential equations (SDE) equivalent to the Fokker-Planck equation. We compute approximate solutions of the transport of cosmic particles at shock fronts with a SDE numerical scheme. Only the first order Fermi process is considered. The momentum gain is given by implicit calculatio...
متن کاملMoment equations for magnetohydrodynamics
In kinetic treatments of hydrodynamics the macroscopic variables such as density and momentum are given by moments of distribution functions. In discrete kinetic theory it is possible to construct a complete set of moments whose evolution provides a complete description of the dynamics of the underlying kinetic equation. Moreover, the collision operator is most easily specified by its action up...
متن کاملEfficient Simulations of Interstellar Gas-Grain Chemistry Using Moment Equations
Networks of reactions on dust grain surfaces play a crucial role in the chemistry of interstellar clouds, leading to the formation of molecular hydrogen in diffuse clouds as well as various organic molecules in dense molecular clouds. Due to the sub-micron size of the grains and the low flux, the population of reactive species per grain may be very small and strongly fluctuating. Under these co...
