Abstract
A volume-averaged global model is developed to investigate surface-wave discharges inside either cylindrical or coaxial structures. The neutral and ion wall flux is self-consistently estimated based on a simplified analytical description both for electropositive and electronegative plasmas. The simulation results are compared with experimental data from various discharge setups of either argon or oxygen, measured or obtained from literature, for a continuous and a pulse-modulated power input. A good agreement is observed between the simulations and the measurements. The calculations show that the wall flux often substantially contributes to the net loss rates of the individual species.
