Numerical simulation of a large scale magnetized inductively coupled plasma generator using COMSOL

Lei Fan [1], Li Xiaoping [1], Song Liwei [1], Liu Donglin [1],
[1] Xidian University

It has already been demonstrated that fluid models can be used to simulate two-dimensional axisymmetric inductively coupled plasma via implementation in the COMSOL (multi-physics simulation software) platform. In this study, we improved the model and simulated a large scale magnetized ... Read More
