General-purpose kinetic global modeling framework for multi-phase chemistry

Spatially averaged (global) models are ubiquitous in plasma science, and the required data and equations are conceptually very similar for most applications. Unfortunately, it is common practice to implement a custom-developed software for each new global model; this unnecessary duplication of efforts negatively affects quality control and code maintenance. We present a general purpose kinetic global modeling framework (KGMf) designed to support plasma scientists in all modeling phases: collection and analysis of the reaction data, automatic construction of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), time evolution of the system, and dynamical optimization of some target function. Alongside the description of the software, we present a few example tutorials.
