AlgoPlasma: Open Algorithms for Plasma Modeling
Abstract
AlgoPlasma is an open-source library in which core numerical algorithms for plasma modeling are implemented as modular, well-documented, and independently testable components. Rather than offering a complete simulation code, it allows researchers to select, adapt, and assemble the required components into application-specific workflows. The current release is centered on particle-based simulation, while AlgoPlasma is designed to encompass a broader range of approaches to plasma modeling. It provides components for particle initialization and advancement, particle-grid coupling, field solution, collision modeling, neutral transport, selected continuity updates, probe signal analysis, and input/output, together with Message Passing Interface (MPI) exchange routines and selected Open Multi-Processing (OpenMP) kernels. Documentation links mathematical formulations to source implementations, interfaces, and usage, while verification and validation cases evaluate numerical accuracy and physical behavior. AlgoPlasma thus establishes a shared algorithmic foundation for plasma modeling, transforming repeatedly reimplemented numerical methods into open, reusable, tested, and explainable components for research, verification, education, and collaborative development.
