A coupled helicon/IEC plasma jet is in development for space propulsion applications. This device decouples the ionization and plasma acceleration process into separate stages. A realistic model is to consider a plasma media where the relative permittivity is negative or imaginary. ... Read More
This paper presents a three-dimensional fluid model for a low-power microwave-excited argon microstrip plasma source operated at 2.45 GHz. The gas pressures in the gas channel are 50 and 100 Torr and the input power is 2 W. Simulations are performed by the Plasma Module of COMSOL ... Read More
The plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition process with a linear plasma source and the frequency range up to 140 MHz developed by Dresden University of Technology and FAP GmbH Dresden enables a fabrication of thin film silicon layers at very high deposition rates. However, an increase ... Read More
COMSOL Multiphysics® has been used to predict the magnetic fields, eddy current, lorenz forces and stresses during a disruption for the new Advanced Outer Divertor for the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. A tokamak is used to study magnetic confinement of plasma for fusion, and a disruption ... Read More
This work investigates the ablation of a copper surface caused by the irradiation of a 220 ns laser pulse. Our focus is on the heat transport within the copper and takes the proceeding vaporization of surface substance into account. Our model ignores plasma dynamics and simulates the ... Read More
The axial injection torch (AIT) produces high-density plasmas by coupling microwave power to a flowing gas. The plasma is imposed by defining its electron density and temperature whose maximum are given by optical emission spectroscopy diagnostics. Our study of an AIT with COMSOL ... Read More
In this study, for the first time, we have carried out three dimensional transient magnetostructural analysis of a Magnetic Pulse welding (MPW) system which welds two tubular work pieces of dissimilar conducting materials. For this purpose a finite element model (FEM) is developed using ... Read More
As part of the European Research Roadmap to the Realization of Fusion Energy [1], the Divertor Tokamak Test facility (DTT) [2] aims to study alternative divertor configurations in view of the EU-DEMO [3] power exhaust handling issues. The DTT superconducting magnet system comprises 18 ... Read More
Cholesterol is an essential lipid for human body. The desired total plasma cholesterol for an individual is less than 5.2 mM (200 mg/dL) and it poses a potential health threat when the level is greater than 6.2 mM (240 mg/dL) [1]. Excessive plasma cholesterol causes poor cardiovascular ... Read More
The Helicon-Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) is a two-stage electric propulsion system comprising of a helicon plasma source and an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) device for plasma production and acceleration, respectively. Several diagnostics such as a ... Read More
