Plasma modelling: Simulation of an electric fluid up to a surface

Abstract

The Current study has given a reliable fluid software model of plasma activity in the magnetised pre-sheath field. The model produces reliable and reproducible results that have undergone partial initial validation against the benchmark publication findings. Also, as part of the project mentioned herein, a first self-consistent fluid model was developed for the sustained self-sputtering behaviour of plasma in the pre-sheath region inside a magnetron system. With the ability to provide the user functions that allow and manage manipulation, the GUI is a great asset to understanding and study of the behaviour.
