As it turns out, both isotope scaling and density limits are phenomena closely linked to fluid closure. The necessity to include ion viscosity arises for both phenomena. Thus, we have added ion viscosity to our model. The experimental isotope scaling...

Methylene blue (C₁₆H₁₈ClN₃) dye can be decomposed using non-thermal plasma. However, there is a problem in that the maintenance of electrodes and dielectrics is necessary due to the durability and heat generation problems due to the high temperatures...

The need for sustainable energy solutions is steering research towards green fuels. One promising approach involves electrocatalytic gas conversion, which requires efficient catalyst surfaces. This study focuses on developing and testing a hydrophobi...

The occurrence of emerging micropollutants of pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in the environment poses a public health concern. Due to PhAC persistence and toxicity even at low concentrations, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have gained...

In the transient phase of an atmospheric pressure discharge, the avalanche turns into a streamer discharge with time. Hydrodynamic fluid models are frequently used to describe the formation and propagation of streamers, where charge particle transpor...

Per-and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are recalcitrant organofluorine contaminants, which demand urgent attention due to their bioaccumulation potential and associated health risks. While numerous current treatments technologies, including certa...

We investigate the effects of the magnetostatic ($B$) field topology on the plasma behavior in a 2D collisionless simulation setup that represents an axial–azimuthal cross-section of a Hall thruster. The influence of the $B$-field topology is asses...

The results from a wide-ranging parametric investigation into the behavior of the collisionless partially magnetized plasma discharge of three propellants—xenon, krypton, and argon—are reported in this two-part article. These studies are...

The radiative heat transfer in arc plasma models is considered from the point of view of its description in terms of a net emission coefficient, the method of spherical harmonics in its lowest order, and the discrete ordinate method. Net emission coe...

In the context of plasma–liquid interactions, the phase of discharge ignition is of great importance as it may influence the properties of the produced plasma. Herein, we investigated the influence of voltage rising time (${\mathsf{\tau }}_{\mathrm{r}\mathrm{i}\mathrm{s}\mathrm{e}}$) on discharg...

The generation of ozone by dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is widely used for water and wastewater treatment, the control of catalytic reactions, and surface treatment. Recently, a need for compact, effective, and economical ozone and reactive oxy...

Electrodeless Low-Frequency (LF)/Radio-Frequency (RF) plasma sources often suffer from low power coupling efficiencies due to the lack of overlapping field with the dynamic plasma load. However, the power supplies for these plasma sources typically h...

Capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) discharges working at low pressure are widely used for the synthesis of thin films and the modification of the surface properties of materials. Due to their importance, considerable research was carried out over the...

The PION code has been integrated into the European Transport Solver (ETS) transport workflow, and we present the first application to model Ion Cyclotron Resonance Frequency (ICRF) heating scenarios in the next-step fusion reactor ITER. We present r...

This work reports on observations of positive and negative nanosecond-pulsed discharge in liquid argon. The structures of both positive and negative discharges, their sizes, and the propagation velocities exhibit remarkable similarity. Similar to the...
