 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. Welcome to the site of the Adaptive Refinement Code for Streamers (ARCoS).
