Abstract
The electrical behavior of weakly ionized, compressible gases flowing along a solid boundary is studied. Analysis is made for flows wherein the range of electrical effects, such as the sheath thickness, is much greater than the mean free path between the charged and the neutral‐gas particles. The relationships between the surface potential, currents, and the boundary‐layer flow parameters are analyzed.Keywords
