Numerical approaches to the heat transfer problem in modern electronic structures

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is to present a detailed description of the research related to the modeling of heat conduction in modern electronic structures, including special consideration for numerical aspects of analyzed algorithms. The motivation to undertake the research as well as some of the most-important results of the experiments and simulations are also included. Moreover, a numerical approximation of the problem as well as the methodology used and a sample solution of the mentioned problem are presented. In the main part, the discretization techniques, Ordinary Differential Equation algorithms, and simulation results for Runge-Kutta’s and Gear’s algorithms are analyzed and discussed. Additionally, a new effective approach to the modeling of heat transfer in electronic nanostructures is demonstrated.
