Mode transition in homogenous dielectric barrier discharge in argon at atmospheric pressure

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/7/075209

Abstract The influence of driving frequency on the discharge regime of a homogenous dielectric barrier discharge in argon at atmospheric pressure is studied through a one-dimensional self-consistent fluid model. The simulation results show that the discharge exhibits five notable discharge modes, namely the Townsend mode, stable glow mode, chaotic mode, asymmetric glow, and multiple period glow mode in a broad frequency range. The transition mechanisms of these modes should be attributed to the competition between the applied voltage and the memory voltage induced by the surface charges.

Keywords: Townsend mode glow mode mode transition fluid model
