  In this paper, we use a fluid model to simulate the excitation of a hydrogen
radio-frequency discharge, and employ tailored voltage waveforms to assess the
effect of charged species transport properties. Results of the fluid simulation
are compared with experimental data and previous results obtained with a hybrid
model. Several expressions for electron and ion transport coefficients are
compared, and their impact on the self-bias potential is studied. The self-bias
is shown to be insensitive to the choice of electron transport coefficients,
while remarkably sensitive to variations in ion mobility. Besides, our results
show that fluid models can be competitive with hybrid models, provided
self-consistent ion transport models and rate constants are used.
