Effect of negative differential conductivity in a driven diffusive lattice gas.

چکیده
A model of hopping conductivity is proposed that takes into account the nonlinear dependence of the mobility of the charge carriers on an externally applied field. The latter is known to be the main origin of the creation of high-field domains in n-type polar semiconductors and is responsible there for the current oscillations observed in the so-called Gunn effect. In this paper we study the effect of the non-Ohmic response to the external field via a driven diffusive lattice gas. Computer simulations carried out on our model reveal Gunnlike behavior. We present a theoretical analysis identifying the macroscopically relevant evolution equation. @S0163-1829~96!03919-7#

Numerical analysis of gas flows in a microchannel using the Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann Method with varying Bosanquet parameter
Abstract. In this paper, a Cascaded Lattice Boltzmann Method with second order slip boundary conditions is developed to study gas flows in a microchannel in the slip and transition flow regimes with a wide range of Knudsen numbers. For the first time the effect of wall confinement is considered on the effective mean free path of the gas molecules using a function with nonconstant Bosanquet para...
متن کاملInequivalence of dynamical ensembles in a generalized driven diffusive lattice gas
We generalize the driven diffusive lattice gas model by using a combination of Kawasaki and Glauber dynamics. We find via Monte Carlo simulations and perturbation studies that the simplest possible generalization of the equivalence of the canonical and grand-canonical ensembles, which holds in equilibrium, does not apply for this class of nonequilibrium systems.

متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Double- Diffusive Mixed Convective Flow in a Lid-Driven Enclosure Filled with Al2O3-Water Nanofluid
Double-diffusive mixed convection in a lid-driven square enclosure filled with Al2O3-water is numerically investigated. Two-dimensional nonlinear governing equations are discretized using the control volume method and hybrid scheme. The equations are solved using SIMPLER algorithm. The results are displayed in the form of streamlines, isotherms, and iso-concentrations when the Richardson number...
