Abstract

Using an automated complex of spectral apparatuses that allow one to determine local profiles of averaged temperature and its oscillations in a dc arc-discharge column, we investigated the temperature instability of the arc plasma in a laminar air flow. We show that the character of oscillations corresponds to the model of thermal destabilization of discharge.
