Dielectric Barrier Discharge with Different EEDFs

Application ID: 121531


The model of 1D Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) has been recomputed with the three different kinds of electron energy distribution functions (EEDFs):

  • The Maxwellian function
  • The Druyvesteyn function
  • The computed EEDF based on the Boltzmann Equation, Two-Term Approximation interface

The latter approach is described in detail in this blog post. The key step in this approach is the export/import of the EEDF function and other properties, e.g., reduced electron mobility.

Results of this model are discussed here.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
