The transport characteristics of electrons are key to initiation and development of pulse discharge in water. In this paper, we developed a physical model of electron transport considering elastic and inelastic collision cross sections. The aim of this study is to investigate frequency variation of elastic collision, ionization and excitation collision with different initial electron energies, and to explore characteristic of electron energy loss in water. The Monte Carlo method was employed to track structure characteristics of electrons transmission and scattering under varying energies. The results show that electrons of lower energy (~20 eV) are significantly impacted by the water molecule scattering and hence their transmission capacities are weakened. While, when the electron incident energy reaches 100 eV, the scattering deviation distance is roughly equivalent to the transmission depth, about 6–8 nm, and the maximum deviation angle θshift ~ 60°. When the electron incident energy is in the range of 10–1000 eV, the elastic collision number is much greater than that of excitation and ionization collisions, and the number of ionization collisions and excitation collisions elevates pronouncedly with the increase of electron energy. The higher the electron incident energy, the greater the energy loss. However, the energy loss decreases sharply with the prolongation of penetration distance. For the ionization collision, the average ionization energy loss, W, decreases rapidly with the increase of electron energy, and eventually maintaining at a level of 20–30 eV, which is consistent with the reportedly experimental results.
