“…The string-like plasma column of the gliding arc discharge is extended by a gas flow in three-dimensional (3D) space. 5,6 Such gliding arc discharges have been widely applied to pollution control, 7-11 surface treatment, 1,12 sterilization, 13 and combustion enhancement. 14 Extensive studies have been performed on the dynamics, [15][16][17][18] physical characteristics, [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and chemical mechanisms [29][30][31] involved in gliding arc discharges.…”

A non-thermal gliding arc discharge was generated at atmospheric pressure in an air flow. The dynamics of the plasma column and tracer particles were recorded using two synchronized high-speed cameras. Whereas the data analysis for such systems has previously been performed in 2D (analyzing the single camera image), we provide here a 3D data analysis that includes 3D reconstructions of the plasma column and 3D particle tracking velocimetry based on discrete tomography methods. The 3D analysis, in particular, the determination of the 3D slip velocity between the plasma column and the gas flow, gives more realistic insight into the convection cooling process. Additionally, with the determination of the 3D slip velocity and the 3D length of the plasma column, we give more accurate estimates for the drag force, the electric field strength, the power per unit length, and the radius of the conducting zone of the plasma column.

Heat and mass transfer as well as chemical reactions in technical processes can be enhanced by using electric fields. This paper provides an overview of current fundamental and applied research as well as potential technical applications of electric fields in energy and process engineering. This includes electrosprays, technical combustors as well as electrochemical reforming and plasma gasification of waste or biomass. Other emerging fields are plasma technologies for treatment of water, surfaces and gases including flue gases. In particle or aerosol-laden flows, plasmas are used to promote particle nucleation and surface growth for controlled nanomaterial synthesis. Furthermore, non-invasive diagnostics based on electromagnetic fields and electric fluid properties are relevant techniques for online control and optimization of technical processes. Finally, an overview of laser-based techniques is provided for studying electro-hydrodynamic effects, temperature, and species concentrations in plasma and electric-field enhanced processes.

“…Advantage of using non-thermal plasma is associated with lower temperatures, lower energy consumption and electrode erosion [12]. Gliding arc discharge is one of non-thermal plasma, associated with low reaction temperature, high selectivity, and compact equipment [12][13][14]. It has at least two diverging knife shaped electrodes.…”
