AVIP

The AVIP code is devoted to the resolution of cold plasmas, as encountered in ignitors such as NRP (Nano-Repetitive Pulse Discharge). It is based on a fluid formulation taking into account the out-of-equilibrium nature of plasmas, and is coupled to a Poisson equation to solve the electric field (using libraries PETSC or MAPHYS) associated to sparking systems. The simulation of plasma requires the resolution of transport equations for electrons, ions and neutrals, including complex chemistry. AVIP is able today to compute 2D streamers and gives results in good agreement with the literature
