Description
Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are essential in particle physics for their high performance and cost-effectiveness. However, maintaining a consistent and uniform gas flow is crucial for optimizing RPC efficiency and preventing contamination, which can compromise detector integrity. This study investigates gas flow dynamics within RPCs using COMSOL Multiphysics simulations, focusing on velocity, pressure, and vorticity profiles under various conditions. Our findings reveal a non-linear relationship between gas flow saturation time and applied pressure, with notable variations in saturation times. Additionally, we examine the effects of gas uniformity and purity across different RPC dimensions, essential for minimizing operational costs and extending detector lifespan. The study further analyzes the impact of inlet and outlet positioning and the influence of multiple nozzles on gas distribution. This work advances RPC performance and sustainability in particle physics, promoting both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
