A three-dimensional numerical model is developed and applied to study the temporal and spatial pattern formation in the planar layered system, consisting of a glow discharge layer, coupled to a high ohmic semiconductor layer. The whole system is sandwiched between two planar electrodes, to which a dc voltage is applied. In the case of temporal oscillations that occur in a transversely homogeneous mode, a bifurcation diagram as well as a Lorenz map are derived, demonstrating the transition of the system to chaos through a period-doubling bifurcation cascade. The results of the fully three-dimensional time-dependent calculations agree well with the linear stability analysis within its range of validity. Beyond the initial transient regime, the numerical solution reproduces the way in which the Turing–Hopf instability of the homogeneous stationary state develops into the running wave, which can be identified through the moving bands observed in the experiment.

Three-dimensional numerical modelling of temporal and spatial pattern formation in a dc-driven gas discharge-semiconductor system Rafatov, İsmail (IOP Publishing, 2016-12-01) A three-dimensional numerical model is developed and applied to study the temporal and spatial pattern formation in the planar layered system, consisting of a glow discharge layer, coupled to a high ohmic semiconductor layer. The whole system is sandwiched between two planar electrodes, to which a dc voltage is applied.
Numerical modelling of spatio-temporal patterns in a DC-driven gas discharge-semiconductor system Özden, Gözde; Rafatov, İsmail; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Scientific Computing (2015) In this thesis, numerical modelling of temporal and spatial pattern formation in the planar layered system, consisted of a DC driven planar gas discharge layer, coupled to high ohmic semiconductor layer, is carried out in 1D and 2D Cartesian geometry. Numerical model includes continuity equations for ions and electrons, the Poisson equation for the electric field, the energy balance equation for the background gas. The conditions correspond to a transition from the Townsend regime to the glow discharge. Cal...
SIMULATION OF ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION PATTERNS OF ALLOYS WITH ORIENTED PRECIPITATES AKBAY, T; Aydınol, Mehmet Kadri; BOR, AS (1994-06-01) A computer program has been developed to simulate the complicated electron diffraction patterns of alloys consisting of an underlying matrix phase in which are embedded various crystallographically oriented precipitates. These precipitates consist of different variants each with a specific orientation relationship to the underlying matrix. The program is designed to calculate the number of possible variants and the specific orientation of each variant using a general orientation relationship input by the us...
Investigation of nonlinear oscillations in the gas discharge-semiconductor system: effect of different fluid modelling approaches Yeşil, Cihan; Rafatov, İsmail; Department of Physics (2018) The work deals with the study of nonlinear oscillations in a system, consisted of planar glow discharge layer, coupled to a high-ohmic semiconductor layer. The whole system is sandwiched between two planar electrodes, to which the DC voltage is applied. The discharge models are developed in Comsol Multiphysics (v5.2), and based on ﬂuid description of plasma, with drift-diﬀusion approximation for charged particle ﬂuxes. Numerical tests are carried out for the discharge in Nitrogen, with GaAs semiconductor la...
Three dimensional laminar compressible navier stokes solver for internal rocket flow applications Coşkun, Korhan; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) A three dimensional, Navier-Stokes finite volume flow solver which uses Roe’s upwind flux differencing scheme for spatial and Runge-Kutta explicit multi-stage time stepping scheme and implicit Lower-Upper Symmetric Gauss Seidel (LU-SGS) iteration scheme for temporal discretization on unstructured and hybrid meshes is developed for steady rocket internal viscous flow applications. The spatial accuracy of the solver can be selected as first or second order. Second order accuracy is achieved by piecewise linea...
