Abstract

A simple linear mathematical model of gas flow and gas temperature distribution in the excitation channel of cow, gas flow lasers with transverse electrical glow discharge is proposed. We aim to describe, explain and control the temperature distribution in order to minimize the effect of the so called temperature-overheating instability of the discharge. The most essential assumption of the model is: gas flow is one-dimensional and relatively slow. The model is determined by a single partial differential equation for temperature, and relatively simple algebraic equations for the velocity and the density'. Inspection of the model and preliminary numerical calculations show, that, in the channel, there exist two near-electrode maxima of temperature /which is in accordance with experimental observations/. Location and height of these maxima are mainly dependent on a competition between on-electrode cooling and near-electrode heating of the gas. This fact seems to enable us to control the temperature distribution to avoid the temperature-overheating instability of glow discharge in the channel.
