In order to get an insight into residual plasma radial motion during the post-arc stage, a two-dimensional (2D) cylindrical particle-in-cell (PIC) model is developed. Firstly, influences of a virtual boundary condition on the residual plasma motion are studied. For purpose of validating this 2D cylindrical particle-in-cell model, a comparison between one-dimensional particle-in-cell model is also presented in this paper. Then a study about the influences of the rising rate of transient recovery voltage on the residual plasma radial motion is presented on the basis of the 2D PIC model.
