Is it possible to set up a simulation of this thing in vanilla OF? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yUpyxRsTZNY Simply put, there are two wires with a high voltage difference and ions moving between them 'drag' air along, making some sort of a fan. The question would be, how to shape surroundings to get maximum flow a.k.a. efficiency. By 'possible' I mean for someone that deals with incompressible simpleFoam...
Optimistically, this will require a separate thread

He has around 5 or so videos on this topic, but I am I not known in plasma's. I know paper from busse et al. called emFoam in foam-extend can guide plasma's I do not use his solver as only holds for axisymmetric cases. So that is all I can contribute 'Numerical modeling of an inductively coupled plasma torch using OpenFOAM'
I'll tell you one thing if you want this to work nicely the magnetic and electric fields, you need high boundary conformity from your mesh.
But I am not sure, that is more how a plasma moves rather then how the charged species move the flow around itself
If I read 10 sentences of pdFoam paper I already get mad headache so. But I would love to maybe simulate this type of thing whenever I get time, only 1 more month of this failing graduation project. But then I wanted to work on writing a automated meshing code for OpenFOAM, although very ambitious, but I wanted to a bit more in C++.

You better go step-by-step, yes. pdFoam is a bit too much, I think as plasma is a no-no. Very loud and energy inefficient!
