Abstract :
In order to study the ion temperature effect on the space-charge structure and the plasma variables on the wall, the ion thermal
force has been added to the ion motion equation in the plasma fluidal model. In the eigenvalue problem of plasma, the
plasma equations are numerically solved in a whole area from the plasma center to the wall and it is displayed that the ion
temperature has significant effects on the plasma structure and floating variables. However, the fluidal theory of plasmas
introduces a singular point among the space charge of plasma boundary layer if the static pressure and the inertial mass of
the thermal ions are taken into account at the same time. Finding a full numerical solution for the thermal plasma equations
needs to cross the singular point. The singular point and how crossing the point will be depicted too.
