Particle and fluid simulations of low-temperature plasma discharges : benchmarks and kinetic effects
journal contribution
posted on 2008-02-25, 10:06 authored by H.C. Kim, Felipe IzaFelipe Iza, M. Radmilovíc-Radjenovíc, Jae Koo LeeFluid, particle-in-cell and hybrid models are the numerical simulation
techniques commonly used for simulating low-temperature plasma
discharges. Despite the complexity of plasma systems and the challenges in
describing and modelling them, well-organized simulation methods can
provide physical information often difficult to obtain from experiments.
Simulation results can also be used to identify research guidelines, find
optimum operating conditions or propose novel designs for performance
improvements. In this paper, we present an overview of the principles,
strengths and limitations of the three simulation models, including a brief
history and the recent status of their development. The three modelling
techniques are benchmarked by comparing simulation results in different
plasma systems (plasma display panels, capacitively coupled plasmas and
inductively coupled plasmas) with experimentally measured data. In
addition, different aspects of the electron and ion kinetics in these systems
are discussed based upon simulation results.
