Abstract
The phenomenon of a critical ionization velocity is discussed under the aspect of experimentally measured inhomogeneities. The difficulties inherent in homogeneous plasma models on the phenomenon are shown. A simple sheath model is presented which can be compared with the local plasma parameters measured in a rotating plasma device. The origin of the observed turbulent heating is attributed to a modified two-stream instability occurring in the sheath under discussion.
