Electron Vorticity – Internal Energy Formulation of the Hydrodynamic Model of Electron Transport

Mohseni K., Shakouri A., University of Colorado, US

The hydrodynamic model of electron transport is revisited. By rearranging the governing equations a new set of equations in terms of the electron vorticity and internal energy is derived. The advantage of the new set [...]

Mixing and Impulse Extremization in Microscale Vortex Formation

Mohseni K., University of Colorado, US

A key idea in microscale mixing, where the conventional turbulent mixing is not applicable, is to increase the area of the interface between two fluids. Significant entrainment and consequently mixing during vortex formation works based [...]

Electron Vortices in Semiconductor Devices

Mohseni K., Shakouri A., Ram R.J., California Institute of Technology, US

The hydrodynamic model of electron transport in semiconductors is analyzed and in analogy to uid mechanics the transport equation for the electron vorticity, rv, is derived. Aside from the classical hydrodynamic sources of vorticity, collision [...]
