Welcome to the ARCoS site
Welcome to the site of the Adaptive Refinement Code for Streamers (ARCoS). ARCoS is a numerical code for the simulation of streamer discharges developed at the Dutch Center of Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI). It has resulted from research both in the physics of streamers and in numerical algorithms developed in the last years at the Multiscale Modelling and Nonlinear Dynamics group.
ARCoS is a state-of-the-art numerical tool featuring:
* Adaptivively refined grids. * Fast photo-ionization calculation through partial differential equations. * Plane-plane and point-plane electrode geometries. * 3D calculations through Fast Fourier Transforms. * Parallel computations in multi-core machines. * Automatic code generator for plasmo-chemical models.
