在电磁兼容领域中，除了电磁干扰还会存在毁灭性的电磁辐射危害。其中电磁辐射对燃油危害的研究关键在于掌握射频放电的击穿特性，为研究不同频率的击穿特性，本文基于电磁场和电路理论，以飞机油箱口结构为例构建了氩气射频放电前后的等效电路模型，并简要分析了射频放电规律。根据电磁场和电路理论，飞机油箱口放电结构等效为圆柱型交流电容，等效电路的并联电阻阻值随气体的导电性能变化而变化，能有效表征气体击穿电离程度的高低。仿真研究表明，相同激励电压条件下，频率越高，气体越容易击穿，等效并联电阻阻值越低。气体击穿电离程度随频率升高存在不连续放电、连续稳定放电、积累效应和雪崩效应四种不同的放电规律。 Read More
电磁辐射对燃油危害是加油站、炼油厂、油气基地等大型设施禁用手机和其他无线通讯设备的重要原因。不同于静电对燃油蒸气的危害，本文的研究重点在于分析不同频率下的射频放电击穿特性。基于射频等离子体鞘层模型，通过多物理场仿真，分析了12M~300MHz频率下的氩气射频放电过程。仿真结果表明，当激励频率大于雪崩击穿临界频率时，两侧极板附近会形成随激励周期变化的鞘层区，中心区域为准电中性的等离子体区。同时，当激励频率远小于等离子体频率时，鞘层会促进极板附近的γ电离过程；随着频率增大，鞘层特性会逐渐退化，而中心区域的α电离过程会增强。此外，放电特性曲线表明，频率越高，板间放电电压越小 ...
