Abstract: This paper presents the measurement of the magnetic field distribution and electronic thrust of atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD) plasma at flat panel. The characteristics of APGD plasma and its some mechanism problems have been investigated from a new point of view. The distribution of the magnetic intensity around the APGD low-temperature plasma and its electronic thrust were measured respectively. The results show that the directional airflow induced by APGD plasma is related to the distribution of the magnetic field, and the electronic thrust of APGD plasma is influenced by the structure of the APGD plasma actuators. The experimental study is significant for the further study about the characteristics of APGD low-temperature plasma.

Keywords: Plasma actuators, low temperature and ordinary atmosphere plasma, magnetic intensity, electron thrust
