Abstract: Detailed phonon transport at Si/Ge interfaces is studied using the molecular dynamics wave-packet method. Three types of interfaces are investigated: A smooth interface, an interface with random ...

Abstract: A sub-micron thermal transport model based on the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) is developed using anisotropic relaxation times. A previously-published model, the full-scattering model, ...

Abstract: A meshless finite difference method is developed for solving conjugate heat transfer problems. Starting with an arbitrary distribution of mesh points, derivatives are evaluated using a weighted ...

Abstract: During the few decades, computational techniques for simulating heat transfer in complex industrial systems have reached maturity. Combined with increasingly sophisticated modeling of turbulence, ...

Abstract: Thin-film evaporation from a meniscus in a confined space, which is the basis for many two-phase cooling devices, is experimentally investigated. The meniscus formed by heptane, a highly wetting ...

Abstract: In this study, numerical investigations are performed to examine the influence of unsteady submerged dielectric liquid (HFE-8401HT) jets impinging on electronic chip surfaces. The problem considered ...

Abstract: The topology and geometry of microstructures play a crucial role in determining their heat transfer performance in passive cooling devices such as heat pipes. It is therefore important to ...

Abstract: Direct simulation of thermal transport in open-cell metal foams is conducted using different periodic unit-cell geometries. The periodic unit-cell structures are constructed by assuming the pore ...

Abstract: We report finite-volume simulations of the phonon Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) for heat conduction across the heterogeneous interfaces in SiGe superlattices. The diffuse mismatch model ...
