Verification and Validation of the Open-Source Plasma Fluid Code: Zapdos
Zapdos is an open-source finite element plasma fluid solver based on the MOOSE multiphysics framework. This paper outlines Zapdos verification, benchmarking, and validation efforts for 1D and 2D RF capacitively-coupled plasma discharge models for mid-range pressures (0.1 – 1 Torr). The verification process involved using the method of manufactured solutions to assess Zapdos spatial and […]
Continued Validation Studies using the MOOSE Framework for Plasma Simulation with Electromagnetics
Resources and tools for the modeling and simulation of low-temperature plasma (LTP) discharges are increasingly vital to progress in the field in order to properly characterize and study complex source designs and plasma chemistries beyond the scope of traditional diagnostics. Open-source software provides powerful platforms for this work and can enable community-driven LTP R&D. Within […]
