The electrical discharge characteristics of a large‐area experimental dielectric barrier discharge in argon–hexamethyldisiloxane mixtures containing up to about 1,600 ppm of the monomer is analysed by means of electrical measurements and numerical modelling. A time‐dependent, spatially one‐dimensional fluid model is employed, taking into account the spatial variation of the discharge plasma between the two plane‐parallel dielectrics covering the electrodes. Reasonable agreement between electrical measurements and modelling results is generally found for the gap voltages and discharge currents. Remaining differences between the measured and calculated electrical energy dissipated in the plasma per period are discussed.

Ar-HMDSO混合物中的大面积大气压介质阻挡放电：实验和流体模型

通过电学测量和数值模拟，分析了含有最多约1600 ppm单体的氩气-六甲基二硅氧烷混合物中大面积实验介质阻挡放电的放电特性。考虑到覆盖电极的两个平行平面电介质之间放电等离子体的空间变化，采用了时间相关的空间一维流体模型。对于间隙电压和放电电流，通常在电气测量结果和建模结果之间找到合理的一致性。讨论了每个周期在等离子体中耗散的测量电能和计算电能之间的剩余差异。
