Book Simulations of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Discharges

Download or read book Simulations of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Discharges written by Douglas Paul Breden and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents a study of the numerical simulation of non-equilibrium plasma discharges in air mixtures in the atmospheric pressure regime. Such plasma is formed by applying a very high electric field over a very short time duration (nano-microsecond) which preferentially heats the electrons to very high temperatures (10 electron Volts or more) while preventing thermalization of the gas. Preferentially heating the electrons to very high temperatures allows the discharge to efficiently and rapidly ionize and dissociate the gas mixture without losing too much energy to thermalization or vibrational excitation. Consequently, two useful characteristics of these discharges are low gas temperatures and rapid electron chemistry. This study focuses on two applications of interest: ignition of fuel-air mixtures and plasma enhanced medicine. For ignition, there are two situations that arise where it is difficult for traditional spark ignition systems to operate. The first is at the supersonic flow regime where the residence time of the flow in the engine is low. The second is high pressure ignition of lean fuel-air mixtures. For plasma medicine and surface treatment, non-equilibrium plasma is an effective means of delivering reactive radical species to the surface while limiting damage due to thermal heating. The problems of interest are characterized by the formation of weakly ionized plasma in the presence of flow fields such as supersonic boundary layers or low speed jets. To simulate the coupled plasma-fluid flow physics of these discharges, two numerical tools are utilized. The first is a two-temperature, multiple species, self-consistent plasma solver with finite rate chemistry which is used to simulate the plasma as it forms in a neutral background gas. The second tool is a multiple-species compressible flow solver which calculates the flow field properties of the background gas mixture.

Book Numerical Simulations of Physical and Engineering Processes

Download or read book Numerical Simulations of Physical and Engineering Processes written by Jan Awrejcewicz and published by IntechOpen. This book was released on 2011-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical Simulations of Physical and Engineering Process is an edited book divided into two parts. Part I devoted to Physical Processes contains 14 chapters, whereas Part II titled Engineering Processes has 13 contributions. The book handles the recent research devoted to numerical simulations of physical and engineering systems. It can be treated as a bridge linking various numerical approaches of two closely inter-related branches of science, i.e. physics and engineering. Since the numerical simulations play a key role in both theoretical and application oriented research, professional reference books are highly needed by pure research scientists, applied mathematicians, engineers as well post-graduate students. In other words, it is expected that the book will serve as an effective tool in training the mentioned groups of researchers and beyond.

Book Electron Kinetics and Applications of Glow Discharges

Download or read book Electron Kinetics and Applications of Glow Discharges written by Uwe Kortshagen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book resulted from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on “Electron Kinetics and Applications of Glow Discharges,” held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on May 19-23, 1997. Glow discharges have found widespread applications in many technological processes from the manufacture of semiconductors, to recent developments in na- technology, to the traditional fields of gas lasers, and discharge lamps. Consequently, the interest in the physics of glow discharges has experienced yet another resurgence of interest. While the non-equilibrium character of glow discharges is widely accepted, the opinion still prevails that the main features can be captured by fluid models, and that kinetic treatments are only required for the understanding of subtle details. The erroneousness of this belief is demonstrated by the failure of fluid models to describe many basic features of glow discharges such as, for instance, electrode phenomena, striations, and collisionless heating effects. An adequate description of glow discharges thus has to be of kinetic nature.
