(color online) Electronic excitation rates without advection (a) and at 2000 sccm inlet flow rate (b), at the discharge condition of 20 mTorr and 200 W. Also plotted is the excitation rate at 40 mTorr and 200 W without advection (c) for comparing its profile with the excitation profile of 2000 sccm (b).
