A Continuum Kinetic Investigation into the Role of Transport Physics in the Bohm Speed formulation
… for it have been derived from fluid and kinetic treatment of plasmas. Although these models are widely used, they are only accurate in cases where the thickness of the sheath is negligible when compared to the scale length of the plasma in consideration. These cases are said to satisfy …

Continuum Kinetic Simulations of Plasma Sheaths and Instabilities
… interactions, sheath physics, and kinetic instabilities through theory and novel numerical simulations. Key contributions of this work include (i) novel continuum kinetic algorithms with novel boundary conditions that directly discretize the Vlasov/Boltzmann equation using the …
