The direct simulation of the dynamics of second sound in graphitic materials remains a challenging task due to lack of methodology for solving the phonon Boltzmann equation in such a stiff hydrodynamic regime. In this work, we aim to tackle this challenge by developing a multiscale numerical scheme for the transient phonon Boltzmann equation under Callaways dual relaxation model which captures well the collective phonon kinetics. Comparing to traditional numerical methods, the present multiscale scheme is efficient, accurate and stable in all transport regimes attributed to avoiding the use of time and spatial steps smaller than the relaxation time and mean free path of phonons. The formation, propagation and composition of ballistic pulses and second sound in graphene ribbon in two classical paradigms for experimental detection are investigated via the multiscale scheme. The second sound is declared to be mainly contributed by ZA phonon modes, whereas the ballistic pulses are mainly contributed by LA and TA phonon modes. The influence of temperature, isotope abundance and ribbon size on the second sound propagation is also explored. The speed of second sound in the observation window is found to be at most 20 percentages smaller than the theoretical value in hydrodynamic limit due to the finite umklapp, isotope and edge resistive scattering. The present study will contribute to not only the solution methodology of phonon Boltzmann equation, but also the physics of transient hydrodynamic phonon transport as guidance for future experimental detection.

In this paper, a fast synthetic iterative scheme is developed to accelerate convergence for the implicit DOM based on the stationary phonon BTE. The key innovative point of the present scheme is the introduction of the macroscopic synthetic diffusion equation for the temperature, which is obtained from the zero- and first-order moment equations of the phonon BTE. The synthetic diffusion equation, which is asymptomatically preserving to the Fouriers heat conduction equation in the diffusive regime, contains a term related to the Fouriers law and a term determined by the second-order moment of the distribution function that reflects the non-Fourier heat transfer. The mesoscopic kinetic equation and macroscopic diffusion equations are tightly coupled together, because the diffusion equation provides the temperature for the BTE, while the BTE provides the high-order moment to the diffusion equation to describe the non-Fourier heat transfer. This synthetic iterative scheme strengthens the coupling of all phonons in the phase space to facilitate the fast convergence from the diffusive to ballistic regimes. Typical numerical tests in one-, two-, and three-dimensional problems demonstrate that our scheme can describe the multiscale heat transfer problems accurately and efficiently. For all test cases convergence is reached within one hundred iteration steps, which is one to three orders of magnitude faster than the traditional implicit DOM in the near-diffusive regime.
A lattice Boltzmann model was proposed to simulate electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD). The insulative vapor and the electrolyte liquid droplet were simulated by the lattice Boltzmann method respectively, and the linear property between cosine of con tact angle and the electric field force confirms the reliability of this model. In the simulation of electrolyte flowing in a rough-wall channel under an external electric field, we found that a narrow channel is more sensitive than a broad channel and the flux decreases monotonously as the electric field increase, but may suddenly increase if the electric field is strong enough.
A novel hybrid computational method based on the discrete-velocity (DV) approximation, including the lattice-Boltzmann (LB) technique, is proposed. Numerical schemes for the kinetic equations are used in regions of rarefied flows, and LB schemes are employed in continuum flow zones. The schemes are written under the finite-volume (FV) formulation to achieve the flexibility of local mesh refinement. The truncated Hermite polynomial expansion is used for matching of DV and LB solutions. Special attention is paid to preserving conservation properties in the coupling algorithm. The test results obtained for the Couette flow of a rarefied gas are in excellent agreement with the benchmark solutions, mostly thanks to mesh refinement (both in the physical and velocity spaces) in the Knudsen layer.
The primary emphasis of this study has been to explain how modifying a cake recipe by changing either the dimensions of the cake or the amount of cake batter alters the baking time. Restricting our consideration to the genoise, one of the basic cakes of classic French cuisine, we have obtained a semi-empirical formula for its baking time as a function of oven temperature, initial temperature of the cake batter, and dimensions of the unbaked cake. The formula, which is based on the Diffusion equation, has three adjustable parameters whose values are estimated from data obtained by baking genoises in cylindrical pans of various diameters. The resulting formula for the baking time exhibits the scaling behavior typical of diffusion processes, i.e. the baking time is proportional to the (characteristic length scale)^2 of the cake. It also takes account of evaporation of moisture at the top surface of the cake, which appears to be a dominant factor affecting the baking time of a cake. In solving this problem we have obtained solutions of the Diffusion equation which are interpreted naturally and straightforwardly in the context of heat transfer; however, when interpreted in the context of the Schrodinger equation, they are somewhat peculiar. The solutions describe a system whose mass assumes different values in two different regions of space. Furthermore, the solutions exhibit characteristics similar to the evanescent modes associated with light waves propagating in a wave guide. When we consider the Schrodinger equation as a non-relativistic limit of the Klein-Gordon equation so that it includes a mass term, these are no longer solutions.

Simulating the dynamic characteristics of a PN junction at the microscopic level requires solving the Poissons equation at every time step. Solving at every time step is a necessary but time-consuming process when using the traditional finite differe nce (FDM) approach. Deep learning is a powerful technique to fit complex functions. In this work, deep learning is utilized to accelerate solving Poissons equation in a PN junction. The role of the boundary condition is emphasized in the loss function to ensure a better fitting. The resulting I-V curve for the PN junction, using the deep learning solver presented in this work, shows a perfect match to the I-V curve obtained using the finite difference method, with the advantage of being 10 times faster at every time step.
