1 PLASMA-NEUTRAL MODELING IN NIMROD Uri Shumlak*, Sina Taheri*, Jacob King** *University of Washington **Tech-X Corporation April 2016
2 Plasma-Neutral Model Physical Model is derived by E. Meier and U. Shumlak* The Model is a generalization of Braginskii Neutral (Ion + Electron) conversion is allowed. Ionization, recombination, and charge exchange collisions are included: e + n i + + 2e φ ion e + i + n + hν i + + n n + i + Further Assumptions: Only single ionization No bound excited states Effective ionization energy included Optically thin plasma / neutral fluid * E.T. Meier and U. Shumlak, Phys. Plasmas (2012)

9 Implementation in NIMROD Momentum cont. Discretize equations using implicit leap-frog time advance Solve for Δ values RHS is in time step j LHS is in Δ terms v j+1 v j Nonlinear terms, f Δv Δv, to be implemented with outer iteration Plasma and Neutral momentum equations are coupled Solving the coupled system simultaneously requires an expensive 6-vector solve Coupling terms are explicit Plan to try outer iteration to time-center coupling terms (as with implicit advection) Neutral momentum equation uses SI operator terms associated with the sound wave RHS is implemented LHS is being implemented Implementing the nonlinear terms are the next step
10 Output files in NIMROD Neutral output neutral.bin (drawneut.in): kinetic/internal energy and Fourier data at the probe location (as in history.bin) Neutral fields are available in hdf5 and binary dump files when neutral_mode input is /= none
11 What to do next? Add source terms due to ionization/recombination/charge exchange to plasma momentum equation Verify the validity of the code with benchmark simulations Density equilibrium (Saha problem) Gaussian flow relaxation Energy Conservation Add energy equation for neutral flow Add source terms due to ionization/recombination/charge exchange to plasma energy equation Verify the validity of the code as a whole plasma-neutral model
