NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF DIELECTRIC BARRIER DISCHARGE IN AIR
Redchits D. A.
| ABSTRACT |
The aim of this work is to develop a new numerical-analytical model for the qualitative
and quantitative simulation of dielectric barrier discharge processes in operation
of the plasma actuator. This model includes a description of nonstationary electrodynamic
processes, kinetic phenomena and plasma chemical reactions. A uniform implicit numerical
algorithm for an efficient solution of the inhomogeneous system of the initial equa-tions
was realized. The main feature of the developed numerical-analytical model is the use
of a rational number of equations for the description of all the main nonstationary
parameters of the dielectric barrier discharge in air. The generation and development
of the streamer for a real configuration of the plasma actuators were obtained on the basis
of this model. The developed model of the dielectric barrier discharge is designed
for an adequate simu-lation of the Lorentz force acting on the turbulent flow of partially
ionized air in a wide range of amplitudes and frequencies of the applied voltage as well
as parameters and properties of the dielectric surface.
