نویسندگان
چکیده
A global discretization approach was taken to solve a self-consistent DC glow discharge model to study the interplay between modeling assumptions and convergence of the numerical solution techniques. It was found that the assumed form of electron di usivity temperature dependence had a profound in uence on the computed solutions. The numerical techniques developed o er a simple to implement alternative for plasma model discretization. keywords: Collocation; Continuation; Global basis functions; Glow discharge; Plasma processing; Pseudospectral

Simulation and Model Reduction Methodsfor an RF Plasma Glow Discharge
In this paper, we report on numerical solutions and model reduction results for a plasma glow discharge model with a radio frequency ionization source. A pseudospectral implementation of a global spectral method was found to give accurate simulation results that correctly reflected the expected physical behavior of an argon plasma under the simulated operating conditions. Numerical residual ana...
متن کاملDouble Langmuir probe measurement of plasma parameters in a dc glow discharge
In this paper, plasma main characteristics such as electron mean temperature, electron number density, and oscillation frequency have been measured experimentally using the double Langmuir probe diagnostic system. In our experiment, the plasma was generated by applying the low pressure dc glow discharge in several common gases. The experimental results indicated the highest plasma density and o...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of DC and RF Glow Discharges
As part of an ongoing research effort on plasma actuators for flow control, a numerical study of DC glow discharges and γ-mode RF glow discharges has been carried out. For simplicity, the study focused on two-dimensional problems. Several experimentally observed features of these discharges were reproduced in the numerical computations, including the expansion of the electrode spot with increas...
متن کاملA particle-in-cell simulation of the breakdown and period doubling thresholds for a RF discharge Ar plasma
RF glow-discharge plasmas provide mild energetic ion bombardment of exposed surfaces. The characteristics of a 10 MHz RF glow-discharge Ar plasma are studied by particle-in-cell simulation. The model simulates a spherical plasma device using a one-dimensional plasma model. The code is used to determine the breakdown voltage, Vrf , for a given pd , where p is the gas pressure and d is the plasma...
متن کاملExperimental Observation of the New Elements Production in the Deuterated And/or Hydride Palladium Electrodes, Exposed to the Low Energy Dc
Elemental and isotopic structures of the palladium cathode before and after experiment under DC glow discharge were investigated by time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Production of new elements with various atomic masses and impurities increase were surveyed. By analyzing obtained results, it was found that beryllium and nickel for deuterium-palladium system, and lithium...
