Abstract :
Summary form only given. In this work we study a He-N2 RF-driven microjet discharge under atmospheric pressure using a hybrid numerical code, where electrons are treated kinetically using a PIC/MCC scheme and the ions are described within the framework of a fluid approximation. In this way, one can efficiently study the effects caused by non-Maxwellian groups of electrons while simulating all the complex chemistry connected with different ions and neutrals, which are not expected to exhibit kinetic behavior. The kinetic part of the corresponding hybrid code is parallelized on a GPU to speed-up the calculations. We discuss the kinetic effects that stem from the fast electrons present in such discharges.
