Stability of self-sustained direct-current discharges and corona discharges
Tipo: Doctoral Research
Local: Grupo de Plasmas de Alta Pressão do Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear (IPFN), Universidade da Madeira
Supervisores:
Descrição:
This research line focuses on the stability of self-sustained direct-current discharges, in particular corona discharges, combining theory, numerical modelling, and experimental validation. The planned work includes the study of stability, the transition to pulsed regimes, and the comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental results.Requerimentos: Interested students are invited to contact the Coordinator of the High-Pressure Plasmas Group, Professor Pedro Almeida, pedroja@staff.uma.pt, by email, sending a brief presentation of their academic background and scientific interests.

Modelos preditivos de descargas em arco em gases de alta pressão e vácuo
Tipo: Doctoral Research
Local: Grupo de Plasmas de Alta Pressão do Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear (IPFN), Universidade da Madeira
Supervisores:
Descrição:
This research line will focus on the development of predictive models of arc discharges in high-pressure gases and vacuum, with an emphasis on theory, advanced physical modelling, and numerical simulation relevant to energy applications. The work falls within an area in which the group has internationally recognised expertise, particularly in plasma-electrode interaction and in near-electrode phenomena.Requerimentos: Interested students are invited to contact the Coordinator of the High-Pressure Plasmas Group, Professor Pedro Almeida, pedroja@staff.uma.pt, by email, sending a brief presentation of their academic background and scientific interests.

Self-organisation in liquid electrodes of glow discharges in air

Tipo: Doctoral Research
Local: Grupo de Plasmas de Alta Pressão do Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear (IPFN), Universidade da Madeira
Supervisores:
Descrição:
This research line will focus on the theory, modelling, and experimental validation of self-organisation in liquid electrodes of glow discharges in air, in a line of work with potential relevance to biomedical applications. The aim is to deepen understanding of the physical mechanisms underlying the formation of self-organised patterns and to develop theoretical and numerical tools capable of predicting and controlling these regimes.Requerimentos: Interested students are invited to contact the Coordinator of the High-Pressure Plasmas Group, Professor Pedro Almeida, pedroja@staff.uma.pt, by email, sending a brief presentation of their academic background and scientific interests.
