The possibility to control the parameters of a low-pressure glow discharge in argon by means acoustic flows is demonstrated by numerical simulations. It is shown that such flows result in an increase in the densities of charged and excited particles in the axial region of the discharge and contraction of the positive column, while stability of the discharge is preserved.
