This work reports average electron temperature () and electron density () of an atmospheric argon rotating gliding arc (), operated in glow-type mode, under transitional and turbulent flows. Both and were calculated near the shortest () and longest () gap between the electrodes, by two different methods using two separate measurements: (1) optical emission spectroscopy () and (2) physical–electrical. calculated from (a) collisional radiative model () () and (b) BOLSIG+ [physical–electrical, reduced electric field as input], differed each other by 16%–26% at and 6% at . was maximum at ( eV) and minimum near (1.6–1.7 eV). Similarly, the was maximum near the (5–8 Td) and minimum near , reaching an asymptotic value (1 Td). By benchmarking from , the expected near was corrected to 3 Td. The calculated intensity agreed well with that of the measured for most of the emission lines indicating a well optimized model. The average near and from Stark broadening () was 4.8– , which is an order higher than the calculated through current density (physical–electrical). and were not affected by gas flow, attributed to the glow-type mode operation. To the best of authors’ knowledge, this work reports for the first time (a) an optimized for s (fine-structure resolved), (b) the poly-diagnostic approach to estimate plasma parameters, and (c) the validation of calculated using physical–electrical measurements.
