In this review we describe a transient type of gas discharge which is commonly called a
streamer discharge, as well as a few related phenomena in pulsed discharges. Streamers …

Low-temperature plasma physics and technology are diverse and interdisciplinary fields.
The plasma parameters can span many orders of magnitude and applications are found in …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies the flow motion in a discretized space. Its basic
scale resolved is the mesh size and time step. The CFD algorithm can be constructed …

We present and compare six simulation codes for positive streamer discharges from six
different research groups. Four groups use a fully self-implemented code and two make use …

We present an open-source plasma fluid code for 2D, cylindrical and 3D simulations of
streamer discharges. The code is based on the Afivo framework, which features adaptive …

There is great difficulty for direct Boltzmann solvers to simulate high Knudsen number flow
due to the severe steep slope and high concentration of the gas distribution function in a …

The current status and challenges of the discharge plasma modeling capabilities in Hall
effect thrusters (HETs) are reviewed. Partially magnetized plasmas in HETs present unique …

Pattern formation and self-organization are fascinating phenomena commonly observed in
diverse types of biological, chemical and physical systems, including plasmas. These …

This article presents an overview of recent advances in the field of electron kinetics in low-
temperature plasmas (LTPs). It also provides author's views on where the field is headed …

Afivo is a framework for simulations with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) on quadtree (2D)
and octree (3D) grids. The framework comes with a geometric multigrid solver, shared …
