Abstract:In partially ionized plasmas, the energy transferred to electrically charged species by the electromagnetic field can be partly channelized to the population of neutrals, due to interspecies collisional processes. Depending on the relative density of neutrals, these effects may govern the collective plasma dynamics by drastically modifying particle dynamics and energy-transport processes with respect to the fully ionized plasma-approximation models. In this work, the influence of the ionization ratio r i on a … Show more
