“…Likewise, the code can be verified by comparing the results with different model simulations or codes to provide some indication of applicability to different models [23][24][25][26]. In addition, many studies have given benchmark cases based on numerical simulations or analytical solutions [27][28][29] in order to help fill the void of benchmark and validation problems to develop new PIC codes.…”

The steady-state criterion for plasma numerical simulations can be determined by the particle balance relation. In this study, we utilized a one-dimensional (1D) particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo (PIC/MC) model to investigate particle transport in a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) discharge, including particle density change, flow, generation, and loss. Our analysis revealed that the generation rate and loss rate are equivalent in both time and space, indicating a fine balance in the steady state of the discharge system. Additionally, we presented the spatio-temporal distribution and time-averaged particle transport term for electrons and ions to demonstrate how particles attain equilibrium at varying pressures. This validation method can be particularly useful in numerical simulations where determining steady state can be challenging. Our findings establish the correctness and reliability of the method.

“…In practice, measurements and practical observations related to analyzing the nature of PD are very difficult and sometimes impossible, because when this phenomenon occurs, it is not possible to access the insulation cavity. Using the electric field equations in the zero-dimensional space, it is possible to study the voltage and current signals caused by an electrical discharge [6], But other parameters such as voltage frequency, gas temperature, and pressure were not included in these calculations [7], So researchers started using plasma equations to have a better study on electrical breakdowns behavior in that even the Secondary Electron Emission equations from the cathode surface could also be considered and thus, the energy of electrons can be obtained with better accuracy [8].…”

In this research, partial discharge phenomena in the air cavities inside an electrical insulation using electrical and plasma physics at the same time are modelled, simulated and in a laboratory condition confirmed. Three different position of cavities, one adjacent to the high voltage electrode, the second adjacent to the ground potential and the third between two electrodes inside the insulation are considered. The electron and ion densities inside the cavity affected by electrical field and ionization phenomena as leakage current are considered. To evaluate the validity of calculated leakage current a practical model was prepared and in laboratory tested. Compering the measured and the calculated leakage currents confirms the simulation results. The simulation results show that the most electrical discharges occurred inside the cavity are as local ionization in one side of the cavity and the discharges occur between two sides of the cavity when the polarity of the ac applied voltage changes. All simulations of this research have been done using COMSOL finite element software.

“…In order to study such devices, numerical simulation based on fully kinetic [26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], hybrid [40], and fluid [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49] models were all successfully used in the literature. Compared to the more physically accurate kinetic models, fluid models offer less demanding computation and hence more attractive for practical applications where more complex boundary conditions are provided.…”

Computational fluid dynamics plasma simulations of a capillary capacitively coupled radio frequency thruster discharge with front powered electrode was performed. Good agreement with experimental results was obtained for the global parameters of the thruster. The spatial characteristics of the discharge were analyzed. DC bias is found to develop in accordance with classical theory of asymmetric capacitive discharge. The electrons temperature in the plasma bulk is ∼2 eV and increasing the sheath near the powered electrode to ∼6 eV. The plasma density is 1019 m−3 whereas excited argon species are 1020 m−3. The thrust can be completely attributed to gas dynamic acceleration.
