High-order fluid model for streamer discharges: I. Derivation of model and transport data
High-order fluid model for streamer discharges: I. Derivation of model and transport data
Streamer discharges pose basic problems in plasma physics, as they are very transient, far from equilibrium and have high ionization density gradients; they appear in diverse areas of science and technology. The present paper focuses on the derivation of a high order fluid model for streamers. Using momentum transfer theory, …
