Abstract :
We study the dynamics of collisional magnetized plasma sheath with two species of positive ions by using the plasma fluid model. The basic equations of the fluid model are solved numerically where the sheath is in
the external magnetic field and the elastic collision between
ions and neutrals has been taken into account. In our
model, we assume that the collisional momentum transferring
cross section has a power law dependency on ion
flow velocity. Our analysis demonstrates that the sheath
dynamics are sensitive to the power law dependency,
especially for the ion with greater density.
