Self-Consistent Kinetic Approach to Stratified Regimes of a Low-Pressure Spherical Discharge

Abstract

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.
