The correct definition of the conductance of finite systems implies a connection to the system of the massive ideal leads. Influence of the latter on the properties of the system appears to be rather essential and is studied below on the…
Vortices in electron fluids are a key indicator of electron hydrodynamics. However, a comprehensive framework linking macroscopic vorticity measurements with microscopic interactions and scattering mechanisms has been lacking. We employ…

In finite-volume-based flow simulations, absorbing layers are widely used to reduce pressure wave reflections at boundaries of the computational domain. A disadvantage of absorbing layers is that they contain case-dependent parameters; thus…
