Abstract: In this paper, we propose an efficient and accurate message-passing interface (MPI)-based parallel simulator for streamer discharges in three dimensions using the fluid model. First, we propose a new second-order semi-implicit scheme for the temporal discretization of the model that relaxes the dielectric relaxation time restriction. Moreover, it requires solving the Poisson-type equation only once at each time step, while the classical second-order explicit scheme typically needs to do twice. Second, we introduce a geometric multigrid preconditioned FGMRES solver that dramatically improves the efficiency of solving the Poisson-type equation with either constant or variable coefficients. We show numerically that no more than 4 iterations are required for the Poisson solver to converge to a relative residual of during streamer simulations; the FGMRES solver is much faster than R&B SOR and other Krylov subspace solvers. Last but not least, all the methods are implemented using MPI. The parallel efficiency of the code and the fast algorithmic performances are demonstrated by a series of numerical experiments using up to 2560 cores on the Tianhe2-JK clusters. For applications, we study a double-headed streamer discharge as well as the interaction between two streamers, using up to 10.7 billion mesh cells.
