Abstract :
In this paper, we use a fluid model to describe the dynamics of the conduction electrons of multiwall carbon nanotubes. A 3-D integral formulation of Maxwell´s equations is used and numerically solved with a finite-elements approach based on div-conforming basis functions. The null-pinv decomposition is used to avoid the low-frequency breakdown.
