Plasma simulation, initial conditions of species

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi all,

I am modeling some plasma chemistry and having gathered all the reactions of interest which include neutrals, excited states, ions etc I managed to run my simulation without any problems. However, I am interested to know how the initial conditions of my problem are calculated. I see in the log window that the log of mass fraction of my ionic species and excited states are higher than the neutral species even though I gave higher initial values to these species. I see this difference in species of comparable masses and this is what made me wondering. I am going through the manual and the applications library of course but if you can contribute somehow that would help a lot.

Thank you, Leo
