Simulation of Dust Particles Influence on Plasma of Dc Discharge
نویسندگان
چکیده
Micron size dust particles influence on nonlocal properties of complex gas discharge plasma are simulated. Plasma is described within limits of diffusion approximation, combined with OML approximation for dust component. The current-voltage characteristics as the easy-to-observe measure of dust influence on the total amount of charged particles, as well as the radial distributions of plasma components in the DC discharge are calculated for different dust concentrations and discharge current.

متن کاملInfluence of plasma diffusion losses on dust charge relaxation in discharge afterglow
Abstract. The influence of diffusive losses on residual dust charge in a complex plasma afterglow has been investigated. The dust residual charges were simulated based on a model developed to describe complex plasma decay. The experimental and simulated data show that the transition from ambipolar to free diffusion in the decaying plasma plays a significant role in determining the residual dust...
متن کاملDust Acoustic Waves
In dc glow discharge dusty plasmas, the formation of dust acoustic waves is a commonly observed phenomenon. Experiments in the dusty plasma experiment device produce naturally occurring dust acoustic waves with frequencies f N 5 to 25 Hz and phase velocities of Vph N 0.5 to 10 cm/s. Through the use of particle image velocimetry techniques, particle motion in the vicinity of the wavefronts is id...
