Study electron transport coefficients for Ar, O₂ and their mixtures by using EEDF program

Simulation of 1D atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge in argon

“…Furthermore, in terms of electron swarm parameters, it becomes possible to calculate the electron mobility and diffusion coefficient by obtaining the EEDF and the effective total momentum transfer cross-section s m ˜for the processes included in the kinetic cycle due to electronic collisions with argon species [19]. In this way, we can determine the reduced electron mobility [18,20,21] using the following equation: This also enables us to determine the electron drift velocity, denoted as V d , by calculating the intensity of the electric field, with the drift velocity defined as V d = μE [22][23][24]. Furthermore, for the calculation of the transversal electron diffusion coefficient [18,20,21], we can utilize the following equation:…”
