Which of the following sentences is correct?

1) I don’t know when he arrives.

2) I don’t know when he will arrive.

If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?

In particular, I would like to know when you use the "will" form after words such as "when", "if" and "unless"?

Would you please give me some examples when it is possible to use them?

Thank you

@paok1970,
2 is possible
1 is possibly possible. I don't know.
O.K. I'll try. If the arrival is a consistent, scheduled event, like at a bus stop, someone might say "I don't know if you have time to go get a Dr. Pepper, because I don't know when he arrives." ( normally )
If the arrival time is totally unknown, someone might say "With the icy roads and traffic, I don't know when he will arrive."
I don't know if he will arrive before dark.
