Nanoparticle Synthesis Simulation Based Design

Plasma-based chemical processes are characterized by solvent-less (dry), high-purity, and low-temperature conditions that enable damage-free device fabrication. plasma tools are now essential to the large-scale manufacturing of microelectronic devices. Nanoparticles form the basis of many novel materials. A core competence at the Plasma-Dynamics is the synthesis of such particles in gas-phase flow reactors. The modeling and simulation of particle-laden, chemically reacting flows is essential to improve the understanding of the processes, to design of reactors and to scale-up laboratory experiments to production facilities. The modeling is based on the implementation of physical models with the expansion of the advanced  numerical tools by introducing of new libraries and flow solvers. The resulting simulation results were justified by experimental or analytical memory whereby the models were validated.
