Modeling of Direct Current Atmospheric Pressure Argon Discharge in Two-Dimensional

Article Preview

Abstract:

The finite element computational package COMSOL multiphysics were used to simulate a bar plate dc discharge in argon at atmospheric pressure. The basic plasma properties such as electron density, ion density, metastable atom density, electron temperature, electric voltage and electric field were studied. The current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of numerical model is in good agreement well with experimental data. This model is simple and insightful as a theoretical tool for argon atmospheric pressure discharges.
