Ms. Benilov et al., MODELING OF DIFFUSE CURRENT TRANSFER IN A NEAR-ELECTRODE LAYER OF THEHIGH-PRESSURE MOLECULAR PLASMA, IEEE transactions on plasma science, 23(4), 1995, pp. 742-749
The paper is concerned with a theory of diffuse current dow through bo
undary layers near electrodes (cathodes and anodes) in a thermal plasm
a of molecular gases. The system of governing equations includes hydro
dynamics transport equations for the charged particles and the Poisson
equation, Numerical solution of this system is given and analyzed for
a wide range of conditions, The results agree with the available expe
rimental data.
