Abstract

Simulation of if discharges through numerical solutions to the Moments of the Boltzmann Transport Equations (MBTE) is discussed. Continuity and momentum equations for the electrons and ions, and electron energy equation have been solved using an efficient finite difference scheme. Results for a 13.56 MHz argon discharge are presented.
