Abstract

In this section, we discuss the different multicomponent and multiscale models , which are later applied in simulations. We focus on the coupling of microscopic and macroscopic models, while the microscopic model is related on finer spatial and time scales and the macroscopic model is related to the coarser spatial and time scales. We discuss exemplary engineering problems in the field of electronic application and transport reaction applications in Plasma models. Here, the models and their underlying multiscale and multicomponent methods are discussed. Based on the aligned methods, we see the data flow between the disparate scales and can estimate the accuracy in each micro- and macroscopic model, such that we obtained truly working multiscale and multicomponent approaches.
