Fluid models are essential for understanding and predicting low-temperature plasma (LTP) behavior in various scientific and industrial settings. This paper provides an introductory tutorial on fluid modeling of LTPs, covering model formulation, implementation, and computational simulations. The tutorial focuses on five main components of the formulation of LTP fluid models: fluid flow, energy, chemistry, electromagnetism, and material properties, as well as in essential aspects of model implementations, including multiscale phenomena, multiphysics coupling, and numerical convergence. Designed for students and early-career researchers, this work offers a practical foundation for developing and using fluid models, from in-house computational codes to commercial software, bridging fundamental theory with real-world applications.
