ELENDIF - A TIME-DEPENDENT BOLTZMANN SOLVER FOR PARTIALLY IONIZED PLASMAS

ELENDIF calculates the time evolution of the electron energy distribution function in a mixture of partially ionized gases with or without an applied electric field. The code can treat inelastic and superelastic processes, electron-electron and electron-ion collisions, photon-electron (free-free) processes, attachment and recombination, ionization including a distribution of secondary electrons, and an external source of electrons (e.g. an electron beam). The code also computes the mean electron energy, drift velocity, diffusion coefficient, rate coefficients and energy flow rates for the processes being included in the calculation. © 1990.
