Similarities and differences between gliding glow and gliding arc discharges Universiteit Antwerpen
In this work we have analyzed the properties of a gliding dc discharge in argon at atmospheric pressure. Despite the usual designation of these discharges as 'gliding arc discharges', it was found previously that they operate in two different regimesglow and arc. Here we analyze the differences in both regimes by means of two dimensional fluid modeling. In order to address different aspects of the discharge operation, we use two modelsCartesian ...
