Progress of computational plasma fluid mechanics

Abstract This article reviews and discusses the recent progresses of studies with concept “Computational plasma fluid mechanics.” Computational demonstrations show that inhouse simulation codes such as PLasma All-Speed Turbulence Implicit Pressure Code have captured hydrodynamic instabilities reproduced flow dynamics in thermal plasma—nonionized gas coexisting systems. A unique method has made it feasible to study collective growth binary alloy nanoparticles by numerical analysis. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics incompressibility modification achieved complex behaviors molten metal involving phase change, flow, heat transport, material mixing, large deformation during arc welding. It is essential processes comprehensive systems which hot plasma, cold nonionized gas, materials coexist. The viewpoint approaches mechanics well physics are indispensable. will play a more important role giving us new deeper insights.
