Electron transport data in N2-O2 streamer plasma discharges

A multi-term theory for solving the Boltzmann equation and a Monte Carlo simulation technique are used to investigate the electron transport in mixtures of molecular nitrogen and oxygen. We investigate the way in which the transport coefficients and spatially resolved transport data are influenced by the amount of O2 in the mixture. This study was initiated in order to obtain the transport data for input into the fluid models and fluid components of hybrid models of streamers and has resulted in a database of such transport data.
