Modeling of glow discharge in a gas flow

The discharge plasma of positive column in electronegative gas flow has been described by two-dimensional integro-differential system of equations written in the approximation of "narrow channel". An efficient algorithm of solving this system of equations is suggested. In this work an implicit method is used of solution with selection gradient of the electric field along the channel. The simulation of discharge characteristics was conducted under various boundary conditions at the inlet of the discharge area and with various full discharge currents.
