This paper provides a comparison between the vibrational-specific state-to-state (StS) model for nitrogen plasma elaborated in Part I of this work and conventional two-temperature (2-T) models for simulating inductively coupled plasma (ICP)…
Non-equilibrium vibrational dissociation of CO$_2$ at low translational-rotational temperatures $T$ is investigated computationally for conditions of microwave induced plasmas. Semi-analytic treatment of vibrational relaxation in CO$_2$ in…
Optical emission spectroscopy applied to non-equilibrium plasmas in molecular gases can give important information on basic plasma parameters, including the rotational, vibrational temperatures and densities of the investigated radiative…
The paper provides a tutorial to the conceptual layout of a self-consistently coupled Particle-In-Cell/Test-Particle model for the kinetic simulation of sputtering transport in capacitively coupled plasmas at low gas pressures. It explains…
The discharge structure of inductively coupled plasma is studied via fluid simulation and analytic theory collaboration. At low pressure, the discharge is stratified by the double layer, which is modelled as dipole moment. The parabolic…
The non-equilibrium ro-vibrational distribution functions of molecules in a plasma can heavily influence the discharge operation and the plasma-chemistry. A convenient method for measuring the distribution function is by means of coherent…
We propose to couple a state-resolved rovibrational coarse-grain model to a stochastic particle method for simulating internal energy excitation and dissociation of a molecular gas. An existing coarse-grain model based on the NASA Ames ab…
A zero-dimensional (volume-averaged) and a pseudo-one-dimensional (plug-flow) model are developed to investigate atmospheric-pressure plasma jet devices operated with He, He/O$_2$, He/N$_2$ and He/N$_2$/O$_2$ mixtures. The models are…
High-power inductively coupled plasma (ICP) wind tunnels are widely used to reproduce high-enthalpy environments relevant to atmospheric entry and hypersonic testing. Despite their importance, radiative heat transfer in ICP facilities is…
The physics of vibrational kinetics in nitrogen-containing plasma produced by collisions with electrons is studied on the basis of recently derived cross sections and rate coefficients for the resonant vibrational-excitation by…
This work explores the effect of N2 addition on CO2 dissociation and on the vibrational kinetics of CO2 and CO under various non-equilibrium plasma conditions. A self-consistent kinetic model, previously validated for pure CO2 and CO2-O2…
This work is concerned with the development of a novel, accurate equation of state for describing partially ionised air plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium. One key application for this new equation of state is the simulation of…
The understanding of the ro-vibrational dynamics in molecular (near)-atmospheric pressure plasmas is essential to investigate the influence of vibrational excited molecules on the discharge properties. In a companion paper, results of…
The MMWICP (Miniature MicroWave ICP) is a new plasma source using the induction principle. Recently Klute et al. presented a mathematical model for the electromagnetic fields and power balance of the new device. In this work the…
We study long-range interacting systems driven by external stochastic forces that act collectively on all the particles constituting the system. Such a scenario is frequently encountered in the context of plasmas, self-gravitating systems,…
In this paper, the discharge structure of an Ar/SF6 inductively coupled plasma (ICP) at the low pressure, 10 mTorr, is investigated by the fluid simulation at the quasi-cold ions approximation, i.e., room temperature. The structure is found…
Here we develop an original approach to investigate the grand canonical partition function of the multicomponent mixtures of Boltzmann particles with hard-core interaction in finite and even small systems of the volumes above 20 fm$^3$. The…
Higher-fidelity entry simulations can be enabled by integrating finer thermo-chemistry models into compressible flow physics. One such class of models are State-to-State (StS) kinetics, which explicitly track species populations among…
This paper is the first in a series devoted to the numerical study of nonlinear interactions of electromagnetic waves with plasma. We start with non-magnetized pair plasmas, where the primary processes are induced (Compton) scattering and…
A full set of vibrationally-resolved cross sections for electron impact excitation of NO(X2{\Pi}, v) molecules is calculated from ab initio molecular dynamics, in the framework of the local-complex-potential approach. Electron-vibration…
