nanosecond pulsed plasma

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I am modeling a nanosecond pulsed plasma discharge to reform methane.

I have imported an external CR circuit (.cir) to produce nanosecond voltage and also I am using plasma interfce. I have attached the electrical circuit. Does anything else is needed to connect two interfaces ( I have defined a metal contact as the discharge component and the ground under the plasma interface).

I am getting several errors and the model in not converging. Can someone guide me please.

ERROR:
