Abstract

A one-dimensional fluid model in atmospheric pressure argon is employed to investigate the influence of the driving frequency on dielectric barrier discharge modes excited by a triangle voltage. Results indicate that a stepped discharge mode is obtained with a low driving frequency of 35 kHz. The current amplitude increases, while its plateau duration decreases with increasing the frequency. The stepped discharge transits into a multi-pulsed mode when the frequency is increased to 80 kHz. With its further increment, the pulse number decreases, and a double-pulsed discharge is realized at 90 kHz, which finally transits to a single-pulsed discharge. Through analyzing spatial distributions of electron density, ion density, and electric field, it can be concluded that the discharge regime transits from a Townsend-like discharge to a glow discharge with increasing the frequency. The regime transition is further verified by analyzing voltage-current curves. These simulated results are consistent with the experi...
