摘要:

我们采用含随机光电离的3D流体模型,研究了气体密度不均匀性对空气中正流注放电的影响,推广了Starikovskiy和Aleksandrov(2019年发表于《Plasma Sources Sci. Technol.》第28卷095022页)采用二维轴对称模型的早期研究工作。我们考虑了多种类型的平面和(半)球形气体密度梯度。流注从密度为n0的区域向气体密度更高或更低的n1区域传播,其中n0对应300K、1bar条件下的密度。我们观察到,流注始终能够传播进入气体密度更低的区域。当流注进入气体密度更高的区域时,会在密度梯度处发生分支,分支以花状图案在梯度表面生长。根据气体密度比、梯度宽度及其他因素的不同,窄分支能够传播进入更高密度的气体中。在平面几何结构中,我们发现这种传播在气体密度斜率高达3.5n0/mm时仍可发生,不过该数值取决于多种条件,例如梯度角度。出人意料的是,更高的施加电压会使流注更难穿透高密度区域,这是由主流注半径增大导致的。

英文摘要:

We study the effect of an inhomogeneous gas density on positive streamer discharges in air using a 3D fluid model with stochastic photoionization, generalizing earlier work with a 2D axisymmetric model by Starikovskiy and Aleksandrov (2019 Plasma Sources Sci. Technol. 28 095022). We consider various types of planar and (hemi)spherical gas density gradients. Streamers propagate from a region of density n0 towards a region of higher or lower gas density n1, where n0 corresponds to 300 K and 1 bar. We observe that streamers can always propagate into a region with a lower gas density. When streamers enter a region with a higher gas density, branching can occur at the density gradient, with branches growing in a flower-like pattern over the gradient surface. Depending on the gas density ratio, the gradient width and other factors, narrow branches are able to propagate into the higher-density gas. In a planar geometry, we find that such propagation is possible up to a gas density slope of 3.5n0/mm, although this value depends on a number of conditions, such as the gradient angle. Surprisingly, a higher applied voltage makes it more difficult for streamers to penetrate into the high-density region, due to an increase of the primary streamer's radius.
