Abstract
This paper is a consideration of the tube transport of ions used in a high-frequency corona ionizer, with emphasis on how the positive and negative ions can be transported in a tube without significant losses. We developed a self-consistent fluid model using continuity equations of positive and negative ion densities and Poisson's equation to solve the ion flow in the tube. The simulation using the model showed that the quasi-neutralized charge distribution created by positive and negative ions, which is achieved at high frequency, can reduce the radial electric field in the tube, resulting in a lower loss of ions at the tube wall, while, at the commercial frequency, such a charge distribution cannot be created.
