Abstract
A fluid model of plasma transport is developed to reproduce a plasma pattern induced by microwave irradiation when an external magnetic field is applied to the breakdown volume. Transport coefficients in the fluid model are evaluated using a fully kinetic simulation under a magnetic field to maintain consistency of electron transport between the particle and fluid models. The electron-density profile and propagation speed of the ionization front obtained by the fluid model agree with those of the particle model. Multidimensional or longer time-scale simulations can be conducted using the fluid model in the case of the application of an external magnetic field, with the simulation reducing computational cost compared to the fully kinetic model.
