Abstract

This research explores the fundamental mechanisms underlying electrical discharges in dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactors. Specifically, we investigate how voltage parameters, such as amplitude, frequency, and waveform, affect plasma characteristics .Numerical simulations reveal that alterations in these parameters can significantly impact the spatial distribution of energy within the plasma. These findings demonstrate that precise control over plasma properties can be achieved through fine-tuning voltage parameters, thereby optimizing DBD reactor performance for applications such as treating water contaminated with volatile organic compounds, generating high-purity ozone for medical purposes, and depositing thin polymer films. This research represents a significant step forward in the design and operation of DBD reactors across various industries.
