Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) reactors are the most widely used systems for antimicrobial purposes because they can use atmospheric air as a gas, do not require a vacuum, and are simple, inexpensive, and easy to use. However, when DBD plasma is applied directly to the biological sample, discharge current may pass through the biological sample, causing the plasma to transit to spark discharge and thus causing damage to the biological sample. Since Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge (SDBD) plasmas can be generated far from the sample, they offer great advantages in the application of non-thermal plasma in extremely large volumes. While SDBD plasmas are generally generated on the lid of the container in which the sample is placed and the plasma species are expected to reach the sample, in this study, SDBD plasmas were produced on the container itself. A new SDBD reactor that can be applied to samples of various sizes and properties for antimicrobial purposes was manufactured. Gram-negative E. coli, gram-positive S. aureus and E. faecalis planktonic bacteria were placed in the reactor and inactivated for 10 min by exposure to non-thermal plasma.

The bottom negative layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with a 0.5 μm diameter and 0.1 μm thickness has a negative aluminium electrode with the same dimensions. The top of the negative layer has cylindrical surface morphology. A layer of copper serves as both a positive layer and electrode with a diameter of 1 μm and a thickness of 0.1 μm. Furthermore, for analysis, PTFE is replaced by polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene and the results are compared. The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was used to analyze the geometry, employing a combination of Solid mechanics and Electrostatic module of COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6 software.

We also studied in detail the competition between the gravitational field and electrostatic forces over the system. Such a competition determines the shape and size of the distributed charges. When the electrostatic force is dominant, the charges are distributed almost symmetrically. Whereas, when the gravitational field is preponderant, the distribution of particles tends to have a hive-like shape and then as the tilt angle increases the distribution is flattened. This effect is exacerbated when the particles have bigger masses and the inclination is higher. From a physical analysis, we obtained an expression to determine the center of mass of the distributed particles, depending on the box’s size and other physical parameters.

The SVD-based POD technique in our work marks the first comprehensive investigation of modal analysis for EHD jets, aiming at extracting reduced-order modes that capture the main features and exploring the mechanisms that govern these jets through a deeper understanding of dynamic physics. The findings indicate that large-scale coherent structures that determine the EHD flows regularly emerge in the low-order modes, and fine-scale vortex structures typically appear in the high-order modes.
