Gas discharge plasma is the most common type of low-temperature plasma, with a large number of practical applications covering almost all areas of modern science and technology. This book is an introduction to the numerical modeling methods for gas discharge plasmas. It is intended to assist and direct graduate students and junior researchers, whose research activity deals with computational plasma physics. Topics covered include the essentials of basic modeling approaches (particle, fluid, and hybrid) for gas discharges, and the implementation of these methods with examples of glow (DC and RF) discharges. Numerical studies of nonlinear dynamics and formation of spatio-temporal patterns in gas discharge systems are also presented.

A Study of Crystallization in Plasma Modified Polypropylene Mansuroglu, Dogan; Mecit, Giray; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit (2019-01-01) A capacitively coupled radio-frequency plasma discharge is used to improve the surface properties of Polypropylene. The changes in the surfaces are investigated for various plasma discharge parameters. After the plasma modification, the polypropylene material transforms into a para-crystalline form and shows the properties of the monoclinic crystals dominantly, observed using the X-ray diffraction measurements. The results indicate significant improvements in the crystallinity after the plasma exposure. The...
Modeling of the expansion of ultra-short-pulse laser-produced plasmas in magnetic fields Ditmire, T; Rubenchik, A; Mirnov, VV; Ucer, D (American Astronomical Society, 2000-04-01) The study of hot plasma expansion in a uniform magnetic field is of interest for many astrophysical applications. In order to observe this process in laboratory, an experiment is proposed in which an ultrashort laser pulse produces a high-temperature plasma by irradiation of a jet of atomic clusters. The very high laser light absorption exhibited in such a gas of clusters facilitates the creation of a hot (> 5 keV), dense (10(19)-10(20) cm(-3)) plasma with a sharp boundary. The small scale of the plasma ( 1...
Numerical analysis of plasma properties in the glow discharge: accuracy and applicability of simple and extended fluid models Kaymazlar, Koray; Rafatov, İsmail; Department of Physics (2017) The work deals with numerical investigation of physical processes in the gas discharge plasma. Numerical models are based on the fluid description of plasma, with drift-diffusion approximation for charged particle fluxes. First, we developed a “simple” fluid model, consisted of continuity equations for electrons and ions, coupled to Poisson equation for electric field. Next, we extended this model by incorporating the electron Boltzmann equation module, such that the electron transport parameters (mobility ...
Spatial variations of non-uniform argon glow discharge Akbar, D.; Bilikmen, S.; Akbar, H. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-01-01) The spatial variation of a non-uniform glow discharge due to the different diameters of the same discharge tube on the plasma parameters is attracting a considerable attention. For this reason the fundamental spatial plasma parameters of an argon. glow discharge have been measured by using fast three couple of Langmuir double probe (TCDP) technique. The orbital motion limited (OML) theory has been used, since the probe radius is smaller than Debye length xi < 1. The axial and radial variation of the electro...
Spectroscopic study and numerical simulation of low-pressure radio-frequency capacitive discharge with argon downstream Tanisli, Murat; Rafatov, İsmail; Sahin, Neslihan; Mertadam, Sercan; Demir, Suleyman (Canadian Science Publishing, 2017-02-01) In this study, the characteristic properties and plasma parameters of capacitive radio frequency (RF) argon (Ar) discharge and supplementary discharge at low pressure are investigated with optical emission spectroscopy (OES). The wavelengths of spectral lines from OES are obtained between 650-900 nm. Using OES lines and related experimental data, the electron temperatures for different RF power, flow, and measurement periods are determined. Eventually, the properties of plasma including the electron tempera...
