CFDWARP Project: CFD Code for Plasma & Reactive Flow
CFDWARP is a 120,000+ line C code that is specifically tailored to simulate efficiently plasma and reactive flows occurring in aerodynamics, combustion, hypersonics, re-entry, and MHD. CFDWARP is a high-order compressible flow solver that uses novel flux discretization schemes suitable for Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES). CFDWARP is superior to other codes in being capable to integrate the electron and ion equations along with the bulk flow equations using aerodynamic-scale (i.e. microsecond and higher) integration steplengths, permitting the simulation of non-neutral plasmas in about the same amount of computing effort as non-ionized reactive flows (see https://doi.org/10.2514/1.J054624).
