A reliable and efficient model to predict the distribution plays a crucial role for clarifying the treatment mechanism and for improving the treatment effect. A lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) to describe the electric field distribution in a co-linear PEF processing was developed. Based on the assumption that PEF does not cause a time varying magnetic field, the simulation was carried out by using the charge conservation equation. For a two-dimensional LBM, we specified the macroscopic boundary condition for electric potential at high voltage and ground electrodes, and bounce-back boundary condition for electric potential at the insulator. Our model was validated by comparing with previous results based on the finite element method (FEM) for the existing co-linear treatment chambers. We suggested another type of treatment chamber with “holo-elliptical” geometry by which the uniformity of electric field was remarkably improved. Our model encourages further investigation to clear the mechanism of PEF treatment and to design more effective device.</p>","PeriodicalId":503,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Lebedev Physics Institute","volume":"51 6","pages":"185 - 194"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141931464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
