Atmospheric-pressure plasma jets (APPJ) are devices that generate chemically reactive species and operate at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature for a wide range of applications. Plasmas jets produce charged particles (electrons and ions), neutral metastable species, radicals, ... Read More
Although SF6 gas is characterized by a strong global warming potential, traditionally, it has been employed universally as the dielectric insulation gas for most electrical equipment because of its excellent technical performances. With the emergence of environmental regulations for ... Read More
In 2016 the group of experimentalists from the Institute of High Current Electronics (Tomsk, Russian Federation) have been discovered a novel phenomenon related to atmospheric plasma jets that was called an “apokamp” (originated from Greek words “off the bend”). This new plasma jet ... Read More
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
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is a plasma thruster being researched at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been shown in Figure 1. It involves a helicon source along with an Inertial Electrostatic Confinement (IEC) chamber. IEC is a fusion ... 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
Pseudospark (PS) discharge is a low pressure hollow cathode discharge for generation of high intensity and high current density electron beams [1-3]. As the frequency of the microwave devices increases, the dimensions of the beam-wave interaction region gets reduced. In THz frequencies, ... Read More
Microwave plasma sources with a resonant cavity have been widely used in microwave electrothermal thrusters as an electric propulsion device, in which free-floating plasma is ignited and sustained in a propellant gas. The resonant cavity microwave plasma has become increasingly ... 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 ...
