Simulation-based Analysis of the Atmospheric Pressure Plasma and Its Temperature Distribution Using Ansys Mechanical

Abstract

This research article delves into an in-depth analysis of atmospheric pressure plasma and its temperature distribution, utilizing the finite element method (FEM) and Ansys Mechanical software. This contribution discusses the various technological applications of atmospheric pressure plasma, including surface treatment, material processing, and plasma equipment, where precise plasma and temperature behavior prediction is crucial for an optimization and innovative solutions. The simulations presented provide a detailed representation of plasma and temperature behavior, and the simulation models have been validated against experimental data, demonstrating the accuracy and reliability of the approaches used. The deviation between the simulation and the actual measurement results was a maximum of 0.87%. In addition, the implications of the findings of this research for optimizing plasma applications and future research directions are discussed. This study highlights the crucial role of simulation tools, such as Ansys Mechanical, for investigating and optimizing atmospheric pressure plasma applications.
