Numerical simulation of filamentary discharges with the parallel adaptive mesh refinement technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
Direct simulation of filamentary gas discharges like streamers or DBD microdischarges needs to use an adaptive mesh. The objective of this paper is to develop a strategy which can use a set of grids with suitable local refinements for the continuity equations and the Poisson equation in 2D and 3D geometry with a high-order discretization. The advantages of the approach are presented with a filamentary discharge simulation in a plane-plane geometry in nitrogen within the diffusion-drift approximation.

Simulating streamer discharges in 3D with the parallel adaptive Afivo framework
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 mesh refinement on quadtree/octree grids, geometric multigrid methods for Poisson’s equation, and OpenMP parallelism. We describe the numerical implementation of a fluid model of the driftdiffusion-reaction type, combined wi...

In this paper, we apply our proposed early parallel adaptive computing methodology for numerical solution of semiconductor device equations with triangular meshing technique.

متن کاملParallel Block-structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Incompressible Navier-stokes Equations
The numerical simulation of fluid flow involving complex geometries is greatly limited by the spatial grid resolution required. These flows often contain small regions with complex motions, while the remaining flow is relatively smooth. Adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) enables the spatial grid to be refined in local regions that require finer grids to resolve the flow. This work describes an appr...
متن کاملAdaptive Parallel Meshes with Complex Geometry
We discuss the automatic creation and adaptive refinement of an unstructured mesh within a complex geometry such as the space surrounding an airplane. This may be formulated as two distinct parts; a non-parallel part requiring global knowledge which automatically creates a coarse compatible mesh, and a parallel local refinement algorithm, which refines the mesh until simulation can begin, then ...
متن کاملFast Finite Element Method Using Multi-Step Mesh Process
This paper introduces a new method for accelerating current sluggish FEM and improving memory demand in FEM problems with high node resolution or bulky structures. Like most of the numerical methods, FEM results to a matrix equation which normally has huge dimension. Breaking the main matrix equation into several smaller size matrices, the solving procedure can be accelerated. For implementing ...
