The document discusses various atmospheric modeling techniques for plasma, focusing on positive and negative DC coaxial wire-cylinder corona configurations and coplanar dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) streamers. It also outlines the continuity equations for electron and ion/metastable densities, along with associated fluxes and electrical potential in the context of fluid models. The research is tied to a seminar on plasma processing science and includes contact information for the Mechanical Engineering Sciences Laboratory.
