Numerical modelling of high-pressure glow discharges controlled by dielectric barrier

In this work, we carried out one-dimensional and self-consistent modeling of a high-pressure low-frequency helium discharge between insulated electrodes. We were able to obtain a stationary state which is qualitatively in agreement with the experimental results. We were also able to study the influence of the experimental parameters (gap length, frequency, etc.) on the numerical results. In the near future, we plan to fully include the Penning effect in our model. The calculations will also be extended to two-dimensional geometry.
