Abstract
A code was recently developed to simulate the expansion of a weakly ionized nitrogen plasma in a plenum chamber. It relies on a state of the art modeling of the relevant phenomena (chemical and thermal nonequilibrium, species diffusion, stress and conductive heat transfer, action of the electric field), and on a fully coupled, implicit, finite volume upwind numerical approximation of the governing equations. The method is outlined below, more details can be found in [25].
