Smooth plasma-sheath transition in a hydrodynamic model
Abstract
In the hydrodynamic plasma and sheath models, when the two models are treated separately, the use of Bohm's (1949) criterion to obtain boundary conditions at the plasma-sheath interface leads to singularities and discontinuities in some physical quantities. This problem can be overcome by using an appropriate boundary condition; namely, by specifying a particular finite value of the electric field at the plasma-sheath interface. Using such a boundary condition and arbitrary collision parameters, sheath characteristics are then calculated continuously from the collisionless to the collisional sheath. When applied to the plasma model, this new boundary condition takes into account the space-charge effect on the behavior of the plasma at its boundary.>

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
