Abstract

Theory and computational model of a glow discharge in electro-negative gas in a parallel-plate configuration with transversal magnetic field is presented. The model based on the diffusion-drift theory of gas discharge plasma and consists of continuity equations for electron, positive and negative ion fluids, and the Poisson equation for the coupled with space charge electric field. Numerical simulation results are presented for two-dimensional glow discharge at various initial conditions in air at pressure 5 ÷ 10 torr, Emf of power supply 2 kVolt, and magnetic field induction 00 .05 B =÷ ± Tl. It is shown that at B ~± 0.05 Tl the glow discharge is continuously moves in the normal direction relative to the vectors of magnetic induction and intensity of electric field. It is demonstrated by the numerical simulation how direction and speed of this movement depends upon on the induction and direction of magnetic field.
