Effect of constant collision mean free time on the boundary layer of the active collisional warm plasma

Abstract The plasma boundary layer is analyzed for a plasma in contact with a conducting plain surface where the ion temperature is comparable with the electron temperature and the plasma pressure is sufficiently high. The variations of electrical potential from the plasma-presheath boundary to the...
