A power supply is generally used in many electrical devices. In order to deliver uniform power irrespective of time variation, most plasma equipment also uses a power source. Therefore, the power condition in plasma simulations is essential. In time-dependent models using a current ... Read More
Plasma torches are used in processing of materials and in energy industry for producing plasma. In this work we use the Equilibrium DC Discharge physics interface of COMSOL Multiphysics® to model a DC non- transferred arc plasma torch, under hypothesis of local thermodynamic equilibrium. ...

Radiofrequency discharges in Hydrogen have a range of applications. In particular, they are used as high-intensity sources of atoms for fundamental and material processing applications. In this study, we investigate a small volume, low pressure RF discharge used to produce Hydrogen ... Read More
In this study, plasma processing parameters of a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) based argon plasma was carried at atmospheric pressure in flat plate configuration. The time dependent one-dimensional plasma module was adapted for modeling of the DBD in copper electrodes with quartz ... Read More
Finite elements using COMSOL Multiphysics have been used to simulate the edge plasma in a large area capacitively coupled RF reactor. In order to reduce numerical difficulties simplified reactor edge geometries have been used. First results show the importance of electrostatic double ... Read More
The state of the art technology is moving towards more complex and multidisciplinary processes and systems. There is a growing interest in using Multi-physics simulations to have a better understating of the underpinning science of the processes as well as providing cost-effective ... Read More
The Z-pinch (or zeta pinch) is a type of plasma confinement system used in fusion power research. It relies on an electric current discharge within the plasma to generate a magnetic field that compresses the plasma, creating conditions conducive to nuclear fusion. The concept of Z-pinch ...
