Simulation of Cold Atmospheric Plasma Generated by Floating-Electrode Dielectric Barrier Pulsed Discharge Used for the Cancer Cell Necrosis

A numerical simulation of a pulsed floating electrode dielectric barrier discharge (FE-DBD) at atmospheric pressure, used for melanoma cancer cell therapy, is performed using a plasma model in COMSOL Multiphysics software. Distributions of electron density, space charge, and electric field are prese...
