Modeling And Parametric Study Of Dielectric Barrier Discharge In Pure Nitrogenat Atmospheric Pressure, Mohammed Habib Allah Lahouel, Djilali Benyoucef, Hocine Tebani

Turkish Journal of Physics

This paper presents the one-dimensional simulation of the dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in pure nitrogen at atmospheric pressure using a sinusoidal supply, within a reactor which consists of two parallel plates. For this purpose, significant reactions among the reactive species in the discharge are taken into account in this work by considering more than 70 reactions for 13 species. The model used in this study to describe the kinetics of the plasma species is the second order fluid model which consists in replacing the Boltzmann equation by these first three moments by using the drift-diffusion approximation for flux. In order …
