  abstract = {Three approaches to describing the separation of charges in near-cathode
	regions of high-pressure arc discharges are compared. The first approach
	employs a single set of equations, including the Poisson equation,
	in the whole interelectrode gap. The second approach employs a fully
	non-equilibrium description of the quasi-neutral bulk plasma, complemented
	with a newly developed description of the space-charge sheaths. The
	third, and the simplest, approach exploits the fact that significant
	power is deposited by the arc power supply into the near-cathode
	plasma layer, which allows one to simulate the plasma–cathode interaction
	to the first approximation independently of processes in the bulk
	plasma. It is found that results given by the different models are
	generally in good agreement, and in some cases the agreement is even
	surprisingly good. It follows that the predicted integral characteristics
	of the plasma–cathode interaction are not strongly affected by details
	of the model provided that the basic physics is right.},
