Plasma simulation

The attached zip contains both data and analysis scripts for the first two particle-in-cell examples in the associated paper. In particular,
(1) The BeamExpansion folder contains output z vs r phase space data from the quasi-Helmholtz FEMPIC code used in the paper at 3 ns (fempic.csv), as well as the equivalent data from an XOOPIC simulation (xoopic.txt). The analysis is done in the ipython notebook file in the folder. All of the plots in the paper was generated using this same script.

Partial discharge is a critical concern in high-voltage systems, with the potential to degrade or even cause catastrophic failures in equipment. Prior research has predominantly emphasized the mechanisms of gas ionization and electron mobility, frequently neglecting the influence of the formation process of neutral excited species on the discharge dynamics.
