Abstract

The results of a calculational-experimental investigation of spatial scale heterogeneities in a gas stream with direct-current discharge are presented. The numerical modeling was made within the framework of the Navier-Stokes equations with a distributed source of input energy density in a gas. The experimental study was conducted by the Talbot-interferometry method. The Shtrel number was used as the criterion of the optical homogeneity of the stream.
