Abstract :
The distribution of the ionic wind velocity in a rod-plane gap is measured and compared with the distribution of photoelectron and corona current. A similitude is observed in the distribution curves when the measured quantities and the radial distance are normalised with respect to the maximum value and the gap length, respectively.
