Plasma Simulation
We simulate charged particle dynamics, ionisation behaviour, electromagnetic fields, sheath formation, and energy transport in low-temperature and high-temperature plasmas. From reactors to surface treatment, plasma simulations reveal interactions that are nearly impossible to measure experimentally.
What Is Plasma Simulation?
Plasma simulation uses coupled electromagnetic, kinetic, and fluid models to understand the behaviour of ionised gases. It combines electric fields, particle motion, collisions, ionisation, recombination, and chemistry to predict how plasmas evolve.
We model plasmas using fluid (continuum) solvers, hybrid kinetic frameworks, and Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations where individual electrons and ions are tracked. This provides deep insight into sheath structures, electron temperature, ion flux, reaction pathways, and power deposition in plasma systems.
- Better process control: Predict uniformity of plasma treatment, deposition, or etching.
- Higher efficiency: Optimise power input and gas composition for improved plasma density.
- Improve material properties: Tailor ion energy to achieve desired surface modification.
- Reduce trial-and-error: Replace expensive reactor iterations with simulation-driven insights.
- Understand hidden physics: Electric field distribution, sheath behaviour, and charged species dynamics.
Our Plasma Simulation Process
What We Can Simulate
- DBD reactors: Atmospheric plasma for sterilisation and surface modification.
- RF plasma: Ionised gas behaviour at MHz frequencies, sheath oscillations.
- Microwave plasma: Wave–plasma interaction, energy absorption regions.
- Arc & thermal plasma: High-temperature jet behaviour, electrode erosion.
- Surface treatment: Ion bombardment uniformity and surface reactivity.
- Etching & deposition: Ion energy distribution, radical density tracking.
- Plasma-assisted chemistry: Reaction pathways for synthesis or disinfection.
