.... BTE phonon transport microscale heat conduction finite volume solution acceleration Over the last two decades, thermal management has emerged as a critical bottleneck to the continued scaling of microelectronics [ 1 , 2 ]. The move to finFETs and thin-body multigate devices has led...

.... A recirculation zone may be created at the condenser end section. The effect of the heat transfer rate on the vapor radial velocities and the performance of the heat pipe are discussed. heat pipes finite volume two-dimensional adiabatic region high flux Heat pipes are often referred...

... interactions relaxation time finite volume simulation micro/nanoscale heat transfer In recent years, aggressive scaling trends in microelectronics have led to increased interest in understanding thermal behavior at the sub-micron scale. Sub-micron thermal transport models using the phonon Boltzmann...

...Masoud Kharati Koopaee; Amir Omidvar In this study, a simple spectral-finite volume approach for hyperbolic heat conduction problems under periodic surface temperature is presented. In this approach, by choosing only three frequencies from a continuum frequency spectrum of the periodic temperature...

.... The implications for conservation of heat, mass, momentum, and charge must be carefully considered when the various domain-based solvers are based on different numerical approaches (finite volume versus finite element, for example). Alternatively, unified multiphysics techniques addressing different knowledge...

..., respectively. A finite volume code with point implicit Gauss–Seidel solver in conjunction with algebraic multigrid method is used to solve the governing equations. The code is validated by comparing the numerical results with available experimental results for a pin fin heat sink without porous metal foam...

...S. Acharya; B. R. Baliga; K. Karki; J. Y. Murthy; C. Prakash; S. P. Vanka Pressure-based finite-volume techniques have emerged as the methods of choice for a wide variety of industrial applications involving incompressible fluid flow. In this paper, we trace the evolution of this class of solution...

...Xiuling Wang; Darrell W. Pepper A finite volume renormalization group (RNG) k - ε turbulent model was employed to simulate an under-floor air distribution (UFAD) system consisting of eight swirl diffusers. Mesh generation was conducted using PRO/E and GAMBIT . Computational fluid dynamics (CFD...
