Abstract:
Period multiplication and chaos behaviors in atmospheric glow discharges are important to understand atmospheric glow plasma stability and to optimize its applications. In this paper, we study the period-two discharge characteristics in argon atmospheric dielectric-barrier discharges using a one-dimension fluid model. Under certain conditions, period-two discharges can occur at different excitation frequencies and exhibit different current and voltage behaviors. When the discharge current becomes highly symmetrical the period-two discharge can reach to a steady state, which sustains over a broad frequency range. At the sufficiently high excitation frequency, the period-two discharge in atmospheric argon shows noticeably different behaviors from the discharges generated at kilohertz frequency. The spatial characteristics of period-two discharge as well as the influence of driving frequency on period-two discharge behaviors are also investigated.
