Description

Control volume used within finite volume discretizations, e.g. the Scharfetter-Gummel discretization of the van-Roosbroeck system.

Formula(s) and quantities

Defining Formula: ${\omega }_k\equiv [x_{k-1,k}-x_{k,k+1}]$

$\omega$ symbol represents control volume

$x$ symbol represents spatial variable
