Abstract

A plasma jet at atmospheric pressure using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) can be very useful in the biomedical field. In this article, a numerical simulation of such plasma jet operating in argon gas and launched in the open air was developed using COMSOL Multiphysics software. Three coupled models are considered in this study. A hydrodynamic investigation is conducted and the dilution of argon in air is considered an initial value in the plasma model. An electrostatic study is developed in order to preview the initial electric field. Finally, a plasma study is carried out and discussed in terms of electron density, electric field distribution, and plasma length. This study is validated by comparing the results to those measured in a similar system in the literature. The results are in good agreement with the literature and correspond to the physics of the plasma jet.
