Ym. Aliev et al., A NONLOCAL HYDRODYNAMIC APPROACH TO PLASMA-HEATING IN SURFACE-WAVE SUSTAINED DISCHARGES, Plasma sources science & technology, 5(3), 1996, pp. 514-516
A hydrodynamic theory of non-local plasma heating by high-frequency fi
elds in gas discharges, sustained for instance by surface waves, is pr
esented. Radial distributions of electron temperature are obtained for
arbitrary radial profiles both of electron density and of electric fi
eld intensity.
