AVIP: a low temperature plasma code

Plasma Physics 2022-09-07 v2 Fluid Dynamics

Abstract

A new unstructured, massively parallel code dedicated to low temperature plasmas, AVIP, is presented to simulate plasma discharges in interaction with combustion. The plasma species are modeled in a drift-diffusion formulation and the Poisson equation is solved consistently with the charged species. Plasma discharges introduce stiff source terms on the reactive Navier-Stokes equations and Riemann solvers, more robust than the schemes available in AVBP, have been implemented in AVIP and reported back in AVBP to solve the reactive Navier-Stokes equations. The validation of all the numerical schemes is carried out in this paper where numerous validation cases are presented for the plasma drift-diffusions equations and the reactive Navier-Stokes equations.
