Impacts of air pressure on the evolution of nanosecond pulse discharge products

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/22/5/055201

Abstract Based on the nonequilibrium plasma dynamics of air discharge, a dynamic model of zero-dimensional plasma is established by combining the component density equation, the Boltzmann equation, and the energy transfer equation. The evolution properties of nanosecond pulse discharge (NPD) plasma under different air pressures are calculated. The results show that air pressure has a significant impact on the NPD products and on the peak value of particle number density for particles such as O atoms, O₃ molecules, N₂(A3) molecules in excited states, and NO molecules. It increases at first and then decreases with the increase of air pressure. On the other hand, the peak values of particle number density for N₂(B3) and N₂(C3) molecules in excited states are only slightly affected by the air pressure.
