Material Libraries
The Electric Discharge Module features two Material Library datasets with materials properties to assist in modeling electric discharges.
The Electric Discharge Material Library1 contains material property data for modeling charge transport in gases, liquids, and solids.
The Equilibrium Discharge Material Library contains material property data for modeling electric arc discharges with the magnetohydrodynamics model.
