“…In our numerical model, both the electromagnetic and flow field equations are discretized by means of a second-order accurate finite volume method implemented within COOLFluiD, [43][44][45][46][47] an open computational platform for multi-physics and plasma 30, 48-50 in particular. The COOLFluiD ICP solver relies upon the AUSM+up scheme 51 for discretizing convective fluxes and upon a central treatment of diffusive fluxes.…”

This paper presents the results of the numerical simulation of plasma flows inside the torch of the VKI inductively coupled plasma facility. The main purpose of this work is the parametric investigation of thermo-chemical non-equilibrium effects on the plasma jet at different operating pressures ranging from 3 to 15 kPa. The test gas is an ionized air mixture including eleven species. While the induced electric field inside the torch is computed by solving Helmholtz induction equation, a standard two-temperature formulation is used to account for non-equilibrium effects. In particular, the present analysis assesses the impact of different models for chemical kinetics and for vibration-chemistry-vibration coupling on the resulting plasma field. Solutions previously computed assuming LTE conditions are used as a reference for our benchmarks. Considerable differences on both the induced electric and temperature field are highlighted for the lower pressure cases.

Aims. Our goal is to develop and provide an open end-to-end (Sun to Earth) space weather modeling system, enabling to combine (“couple”) various space weather models in an integrated tool, with the models located either locally or geographically distributed, so as to better understand the challenges in creating such an integrated environment. Methods. The physics-based models are installed on different compute clusters and can be run interactively and remotely and that can be coupled over the internet, using open source “high-level architecture” software, to make complex modeling chains involving models from the Sun to the Earth. Visualization tools have been integrated as “models” that can be coupled to any other integrated model with compatible output. Results. The first operational version of the VSWMC is accessible via the SWE Portal and demonstrates its end-to-end simulation capability. Users interact via the front-end GUI and can interactively run complex coupled simulation models and view and retrieve the output, including standard visualizations, via the GUI. Hence, the VSWMC provides the capability to validate and compare model outputs.
