  • Computational aspects of simulations of early stages of a Townsend discharge [Elektronski vir]
    Kos, Leon, 1966- ; Jelić, Nikola
    In this paper we present some computational aspects of investigations of the early stages of development of the gas breakdown discharges via applying a fully kinetic model for particles and binary ... processes in a self-consistent electric field. Coupled set of Newton and Poisson equations is solved by so called Particle in Cell (PIC) model. Microscopic plasma parameters, i.e., ion and electron velocity distributions and corresponding fluid quantities are obtained as functions of position, time and pressure for a fixed computational domain geometry and dimension, i.e., for fixed system length in one-dimensional plane discharge. The paper is a first step towards implementing one by one additional particle-particle, particle-field and particle-boundary processes, and additional surface and volume sources and sinks of particles and energy during the gas discharge breakdowns in various gases.
