A Multilevel Iterative Field Solver for Implicit Plasma Simulation Codes

Much e ort has gone into the development of implicit methods for electromagnetic kinetic plasma simulation. One such implicit method is the implicit moment method [1]. The maximum allowable time step in this method has often been found to be governed by the iterative elliptic eld solver, and not the implicit moment method itself [2]. In ref. [2] it was shown, in one dimension, that by using a d...

Multilevel Cloth Simulation using GPU Surface Sampling

Today most cloth simulation systems use triangular mesh models. However, regular grids allow many optimizations as connectivity is implicit, warp and weft directions of the cloth are aligned to grid edges and distances between particles are equal. In this paper we introduce a cloth simulation that combines both model types. All operations that are performed on the CPU use a low-resolution trian...

Simulation of a Helium Atmospheric Plasma Jet Using Fluid Equations

In this study, a cold atmospheric He plasma jet is investigated. The jet is of dielectric barrier discharge type, consisting of a dielectric tube with two metal ring electrodes. The continuity, momentum and energy conservation equations as well as the Poisson equation for obtaining the potential and the electric field, accompanied with the ideal gas laws, are used for the simulation. The result...
