Modeling of Plasmas for Biomedicine

Studies in plasma medicine, which are currently actively expanding, are of multidisciplinary character, involving physical, chemical and biological processes. Rapid progress has been achieved in this field due to synergy between experimental and theoretical/computational methods. Joint use of diagnostic tools and computations gives a better understanding of mechanisms of interaction of plasma with bio-objects. This review focuses on recent achievements in modeling of plasma for biomedical applications. Various computational approaches used in these studies are described. We discuss some results of simulations that concern the production of reactive species by plasma and their delivery to bio-objects, and we consider the effect of electroporation at direct contact of cold plasma with cells.
