Stratification of a glow discharge in a gas flow at high energy inputs
Abstract
Experimental results are presented on the stratification of a glow discharge in air and nitrogen plasmas at high energy inputs. Distributions of electric fields in the positive column of the discharge at various moments of time after the accumulation of detached particles are calculated, and photographs of stratification are presented. A new type of stratification mechanism was revealed, associated with the nonstationary accumulation of chemically active particles (radicals and metastable molecules) in the gas-discharge plasma.
