Guided ionization waves, or plasma streamers, are increasingly important for many
applications in spanning materials processing and biomedicine. The highly reproducible …

Both fluid and particle models are commonly used to simulate streamer discharges. In this
paper, we quantitatively study the agreement between these approaches for axisymmetric …

A new computational framework for a coupled PIC-DSMC tool using multiple GPUs to model
the kinetic behavior of electrons in plasma plumes is presented in this work. The disparate …

Positive streamer discharges have been studied and modelled extensively in air. Here we
study positive streamers in CO 2 with and without oxygen admixtures; they are relevant for …

The use of a particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithm with an explicit scheme to model low
temperature plasmas is challenging due to computational time constrains related to …

Micro-discharge is the process that gas breakdown occurs on a small spatial scale to
generate plasma. With the decrease of the discharge scale, the high electric field makes the …

In this study, experiments were performed to measure the inception and breakdown voltages
of SF6/CO2 mixed gases with varying mixing ratios at two different pressures (1 and 2 bar) …

Full cycle, self-consistent, two-dimensional analysis of a packed bed DBD reactor for plasma-assisted
splitting: spatiotemporal inhomogeneous, glow to streamer to surface discharge transitions …

We investigate the effect of photoionization on positive streamer propagation in CO2 with 2D
particle-in-cell simulations. Positive streamers require free electrons ahead of them to …
