Local discontinuous Galerkin methods for moment models in device simulations: Performance assessment and two-dimensional results (Q881483): Difference between revisions

The efficient modeling of semiconductor devices using convection-diffusion systems represents a numerical challenge. This paper is focused on a specific finite element method (local discontiuous Galerkin approach). The application is on transport equations involving first and second order derivatives (heat and Poisson equations). Models and numerical approaches are described in detail.
