Boundary condition problem

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

For the 1-D Argon discharge model(dc1), the boundary value of Ar*, Ar+ and electron density, and the voltage at the position of positive electrode was calculated by another model(dc2). It seemed that only electron density and energy density can be defined through Drift diffusion-->Electron density and energy. How do I define the boundary condition of the other species?

Dawei,

To specify the values of Ar* and Ar+ at a boundary, right click on the "Species: Ars" node in the model tree and select "Inlet" from the menu. Do the same for Ar+. On the Inlet nodes, you can specify values of these species on the selected boundaries.
