Popis: We have studied experimentally the temperature of a gas and the strength of the electric field for a glowing discharge in a longitudinal stream of air. We have derived a two-dimensional distribution of the reduced field strength E/N in the gas discharge tube. Numerical studies have been conducted into the kinetics of a dry-air plasma. We have calculated the ionization factors, and the factors for adhesion and separation of electrons. Through comparison of experimental and theoretical data we propose a model for the contraction of the glowing discharge with an adhesive instability mechanism.
