The method of matched asymptotic expansions is applied to the fluid model of the low-pressure positive column. The expansion of the eigenvalue in the plasma balance equation is obtained to second order in plane and in cylindrical geometry, and uniformly valid expressions for charged particle densities and fluid velocity in two separate regions are indicated.The free-fall model is also examined and the scales of the transition layer and sheath layer found. Comparison is made with the results of direct numerical integration of the equations involved for both models.
