Numerous applications have required the study of CO 2 plasmas since the 1960s, from CO 2
lasers to spacecraft heat shields. However, in recent years, intense research activities on the …

Given the ecological problems associated to the CO 2 emissions of fossil fuels, plasma
technology has gained interest for conversion of CO 2 into value-added products …

The stability of the weakly ionized plasma and the transition from a stable homogeneous
discharge to unstable filaments play an important role in gas laser physics, plasma-assisted …

In this review, we detail the commonality of mathematical intuitions that underlie three
numerical methods used for the quantitative description of electron swarms propagating in a …

Plasma stability in reactive mixtures is critical for various applications from plasma-assisted
combustion to gas conversion. To generate stable and uniform plasmas and control the …

In recent years, plasma technology as a new approach for CO 2 splitting has attracted
growing interest. The understanding of discharge characteristics and plasma chemistry is …

We investigate discharge contraction in a microwave plasma at sub-atmospheric pressure,
operating in CO 2 and CO 2/CH 4 mixtures. The rise of the electron number density with …

In the present study, we computationally investigate the splitting of CO 2 to carbon monoxide
and oxygen in an atmospheric pressure microwave (MW) plasma torch. We demonstrate …

This work focuses on the comparison between a zero-dimensional (0D) global model (LoKI)
and a one-dimensional (1D) radial fluid model for the positive column of oxygen DC glow …

In this paper, 3D, turbulent fluid models of a CO 2, forward vortex, microwave plasma are
presented. The high temperature (3000–7000 K), heterogeneous plasma is modelled as a …
