Intermittent renewable energy sources (e.g.\ , wind and solar) can power non-equilibrium plasma sources\, which effi ci ently generate nitrogen- and oxygen-based reactive species (RONS). One com mon way to produce such reactive plasmas is through streamer–spark disch arges\, initiated by strong electric fi elds from nanosecond/microsecond p ulsed high-voltage power sources. These discharges can operate in direct c ontact with the liquid surface\, thus creating and storing RONS in so-call ed plasma-activated water (PAW). In the agri-food sector\, PAW offers a wi de range of possible applications (e.g. suppression of bacterial activity or nutrient solution for plants in hydroponic systems).\n\nThis seminar ai ms to\, in two parts\, provide an overview of experimental and numerical m odeling approaches\, both aimed at optimizing RONS generation in non-equil ibrium plasmas and enhancing their incorporation into plasma-activated wat er.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/MathMAC/34/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
