Self-consistent kinetic approach to stratified regimes of a low-pressure spherical discharge

摘要

A spherical glow discharge with a central point-like anode has been studied in self-consistent kinetic approach. The model includes non-local Boltzmann equation coupled with non-stationary ion balance equation, and Poisson equation for radial electric field. For low-pressure argon, the model permits to obtain moving striations in a spherical glow discharge.
