Abstract

This work is devoted to physical and mathematical simulation of micro-plasma and spark processes in conditions of various ambiences. Here we present results illustrated possibilities of developed mathematical approach (in the frame of response surface methodology) for description and optimization of advanced materials covering technology, in particularly growth of oxide-ceramic films. Physical modeling of the process with taking into account main mechanisms is a subject of further studies.
