✦ Synopsis

A fully conservative and efficient numerical algorithm is developed for fluid simulations of radio-frequency plasma discharges. Results are presented in one and multiple dimensions for a helium discharge. The algorithm produces accurate results even on fairly coarse grids without the use of numerical dissipation. The proposed electron flux discretization is more accurate and efficient than two of the most commonly used discretizations: low-order upwinding (M. S.

Unlike most other published work, this analysis is not restricted to the case where the tracks

A technique for suppressing the finite-grid instability in plasma simulation by jiggling the computation mesh is revisited. Linear dispersion theory suggests a reduction in growth rate of \(50 \%\) when the mesh is randomly jiggled. With an implicit method, a large time step, and a grid with variabl
