Symposia Day (DPP - DPP) - Plasma Physics and Technology | Physique et technologie des plasmas

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

With the ongoing energy transition, electricity is becoming the main energy carrier and commodity but the rate of deployment of solar, wind and hydraulic energy harvesting capacity far outpaces the capabilities to immediately use, transport, or store the electricity being produced. This technological bottleneck is because few industrial processes use electricity as main energy input, and that...

Symposia Day (DPP - DPP) - Plasma Physics and Technology | Physique et technologie des plasmas

Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

The reduced electric field, denoted as E/N, where E represents the magnitude of the electric field within the plasma and N is the total gas number density is a crucial parameter influencing electron-impact driven energy processes and electron kinetics in electrical discharges. This parameter intuitively accounts for scaling the effects of accelerating electric fields by the number...

4486. (G*) Electrical and Optical Investigation of Atmospheric Pressure Streamer-Spark Discharge in Pin-to-Droplet-to-Pin Configuration: Impact of Electrical Conductivity

Symposia Day (DPP - DPP) - Plasma Physics and Technology | Physique et technologie des plasmas

Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

In the realm of plasma physics, the intricate interplay between electrical discharges and dielectric materials remains a subject of fascination. This study delves into the propagation of an atmospheric pressure streamer-spark discharge directed towards a water droplet in a Pin-Droplet-Pin configuration, presenting a unique opportunity to explore the interfacial dynamics between electrical...

Plasma Physics / Physique des plasmas (DPP)

Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

Gliding arc discharges (GAD) provide an interesting discharge plasma platform where two regimes are theoretically possible – the thermal or equilibrium regime, where the plasma is in thermodynamic equilibrium, and the non-thermal or non-equilibrium regime, where a gradient is observed across different plasma temperatures The non-equilibrium state, characterized by high electron density plasma...

Plasma Physics / Physique des plasmas (DPP)

Oral Competition (Graduate Student) / Compétition orale (Étudiant(e) du 2e ou 3e cycle)

In-liquid pulsed spark discharges are transient plasmas with demonstrated applications, such as electrical discharge machining or nanomaterial synthesis. The characteristics of in-liquid discharges, such as temperature and density of the various present species (electrons, ions, radicals, etc.), are not well known. One way to probe the plasma parameters is to perform Optical Emission...
