In electrostatic water collection devices, by applying a high voltage to the discharge electrodes, air become ionized and charged water droplets are directed towards the collection electrodes in the presence of an electric field. This method, with lower energy consumption compared to condensation-based methods, is a promising approach to address water scarcity and some of the energy and environmental challenges associated with it. In this study, the water collection process in these devices was simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics software. After solving the equations related to humid air flow, plasma physics, and the charging of droplets, the electrostatic field resulting from the applied...
