Abstract

Plasma-flow interactions are investigated in transversedirect current glow discharges in atmospheric pressure air.Interestingly, the slower flow “blows out” the discharge fartherthan the faster flow. We find this counter intuitive result to bemainly due to gas heating in the discharge: the temperature ishigher for the slower flow, thus enhancing the reduced electric fieldE/N and causing the discharge to extend farther downstream.
