Abstract:

The computer simulation code MINI has been developed to study microwave interaction with nitrogen. MINI has self-consistent wave optics, nitrogen chemistry and hydrodynamic effects included. A number of simulations have been performed and compared to experiment showing reasonable agreement. Keywords Microwave, N2 Breakdown, Air breakdown, Coupling, Interaction, Absorption, Reflection, and High power.
