Abstract:The diffusional process involving elastic collisions between charge carriers and neutrals has long been the predominant candidate for post‐injection momentum loss in the far wider drift region outside confined DC corona discharges in gases. A supplementary research paradigm is here put forward for the interest of a greater understanding of corona‐assisted unipolar ion flows in atmospheric air. In this respect, the auto‐pulsing mode of glow‐type coronas in air is modelled as a source of momentum whose conservat… Show more
