abstract = {{Next generation accelerators demand sophisticated beam sources to reach ultra-low emittances at large accelerating gradients, along with improved optics to transport these beams without degradation. Capillary discharge plasmas can address each of these challenges. As sources, capillaries have been shown to increase the energy and quality of wakefield accelerators, and as active plasma lenses they provide orders-of-magnitude increases in peak magnetic field. Capillaries are sensitive to energy deposition, heat transfer, ionization dynamics, and magnetic field penetration; therefore, capillary design requires careful modeling. We present simulations of capillary discharge plasmas using FLASH, a publicly-available multi-physics code developed at the University of Chicago. We report on the implementation of 2D and 3D models of capillary plasma density and temperature evolution with realistic boundary and discharge conditions. We then demonstrate laser energy deposition to model channel formation for guiding intense laser pulses. Lastly, we examine active capillary plasmas with varying fill species and compare our simulations against experimental studies.}},
