Full nonlinear closure for a hydrodynamic model of transport in silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
We derive, using the entropy maximum principle, an expression for the distribution function of carriers as a function of a set of macroscopic quantities ~density, velocity, energy, deviatoric stress, heat flux!. Given the distribution function, we can obtain a hydrodynamic model in which all the constitutive functions ~fluxes and collisional productions! are explicitly computed starting from their kinetic expressions. We have applied our model to the simulation of the thermodynamic properties of bulk silicon and of some nnn submicrometer Si devices ~with several doping profiles and applied biases!, obtaining results comparable with Monte Carlo simulations. Computation times are of order of few seconds for a picosecond of simulation. @S0163-1829~98!01607-5#

A simple upwind discretization of the highly coupled non-linear differential equations which define the hydrodynamic model for semiconductors is given in full detail. The hydrodynamic model is able to describe inertia effects which play an increasing role in different fields of optoand microelectronics. A silicon n −n−n-structure is simulated, using the energy-balance model and the full hydrody...
متن کاملArtificial Neural Network Modeling for the Management of Oil Slick Transport in the Marine Environments
Due to an increase in demand of petroleum products which are transported by vessels or exported by pipelines, oil spill management becomes a controversial issue in coastal environment safety as well as making serious financial problems. After spilling oil in the water body, oil spreads as a thin layer on the water surface. Currents, waves and wind are the main causes of oil slick transport. The...

متن کامل2DV Nonlinear k-ε Turbulence Modeling of Stratified Flows
The commonly used linear k-ε turbulence model is shown to be incapable of accurate prediction of turbulent flows, where non-isotropy is dominant. Two examples of non-isotropic flows, which have a wide range of applications in marine waters, are saline water flow and the stratified flows due to temperature gradients. These relate to stratification and consequently, variation of density through...
