摘要
通过设计新型的交流激励氩气等离子体射流,在棒电极的下游产生了大气压等离子体羽.该射流与平行场射流和交叉场射流不同,它的电场与流场夹角可以在一定范围内改变.结果表明,在同一外加电压时,下游羽长度随着夹角的增大而减小.对于不同的夹角,外加电压的正、负半周期各对应着一个放电脉冲,并且放电脉冲强度随着夹角的增大而减小.利用高速影像,研究了夹角对等离子体羽动力学的影响.发现一个放电脉冲对应着一个子弹的传播过程,子弹的传播速度先增大后减小,并且其最大传播速度随着夹角的增大而减小.基于碰撞辐射模型,利用谱线强度比的方法研究了电子激发温度的空间分布,它反映出了净电场的空间分布.结果表明它与子弹传播速度的空间分布一致.
A novel argon plasma jet driven by an alternating current voltage is developed to generate atmospheric pressure plasma plume in the downstream region of a rod electrode. The novel jet is neither a linear-field jet, nor a cross-field jet, whose angle between the electric field and the flow one can be changed easily. Result indicates that the downstream plume length decreases with increasing the angle under constant peak voltage. For different angles, the positive discharge or the negative one per half voltage cycle corresponds to a discharge pulse. Moreover, the pulse intensity decreases with increasing the angle. By fast photography, the effect of the angle is investigated on the discharge dynamics of the plasma plume. It is found that every discharge pulse corresponds to the propagating process of a plasma bullet. The bullet velocity increases firstly, then decreases during its propagating process. Moreover, its maximal velocity decreases with increasing the angle. Based on the Collisional-Radiation model, the intensity ratio of two spectral lines is investigated to obtain the spatial distribution of excited electron temperature, which corresponds to the spatial distribution of net electric field. Result suggests that the spatial distribution of the net electric field is similar with that of the bullet velocity.
