Numerical simulation of the activation process of supersonic gas flows by a microwave discharge

[EN] Supersonic gas flows activated by microwave discharge are commonly used to obtain thrust for spacecraft. When using a mixture of hydrocarbons and hydrogen as a working gas, the proposed method generates high-speed plasma streams with a high concentration of radicals, allowing it to be used for...

When using a mixture of hydrocarbons and hydrogen as a working gas, the proposed method generates high-speed plasma streams with a high concentration of radicals, allowing it to be used for efficient deposition of diamond films . To optimize diamond synthesis processes, it is necessary to study the effect of various system parameters (geometrical dimensions, radiation power, pressure and others). This abstract presents a numerical simulation of the formation of high-speed gas flow activated by a microwave discharge. The conjugate problem of hydrodynamics and plasma dynamics was solved in the continuum approximation, taking into account impact ionization and thermal dissociation, due to microwave heating of the gas.
