TL;DR: A review of the state-of-the-art of this multidisciplinary area and identifying the key research challenges is provided in this paper, where the developments in diagnostics, modeling and further extensions of cross section and reaction rate databases are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of existing microplasma sources and charged particle kinetics in various microdischarges is presented, and an outlook is presented on the biomedical application of microplasmas.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed global model of atmospheric pressure He + H2O plasmas is presented, which incorporates 46 species and 577 reactions, based on simulation results obtained with this comprehensive model, the main species and reactions are identified, and simplified models capable of capturing the main physicochemical processes in He+H2O discharges are suggested.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that immediately following breakdown, the plasma jet operates in a deterministic chaotic mode, and with increasing input power, the discharge becomes periodic and the jet plasma is found to produce at least one strong plasma bullet every cycle of the applied voltage.

TL;DR: Fluid, particle-in-cell and hybrid models are the numerical simulation techniques commonly used for simulating low-temperature plasma discharges as mentioned in this paper, which can be used to identify research guidelines, find optimum operating conditions or propose novel designs for performance improvements.
