Generalized moment method of an AC plasma display panel cell

Summary form only given, as follows. We present a self-consistent fluid model of the plasma physics in an AC plasma display panel cell. The model is based on a multi-fluid description of electron, ion and neutral particle transport, coupled with Poisson´s equation. We employed a generalized Chapman-Enskog method to retain the most dominant kinetic effects on the fluid description, similar to reduced Braginskii equations in an unmagnetized plasma. The momentum balance equation now includes a viscous stress force with kinetic closure. The same moment method has also been utilized to determine rate coefficients and mobilities, hence generalizing customary E/N dependence in these coefficients. A 1D numerical result on the physical, electrical and optical properties of an AC PDP cell will be discussed.
