I'd advise finding a different code to use to do DPF for now, although I think DPF is on a to-do list somewhere on the powers-that-be's desk :)</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Marissa</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Jul 7, 2021 at 5:11 PM frank wessel <<a href="mailto:fwessel@gmail.com">fwessel@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-style:solid;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Greetings FLASH users,<br>
Does anyone know whether FLASH has been used to simulate a <br>
pulsed electrical discharge between coaxial electrodes?<br>
<br>
If so, can someone provide pointers to a simulation/module that implements this? <br>
<br>
If not, can someone recommend something that can be modified as a starting point? <br>
<br>
Knowing whether this has been done before will be a great help. <br>
<br>
Thank You,<br>
