The analysis of space-charge in cylindrical geometries has been performed using kinetic theory. The current collected by central electrodes inmersed in plasmas with a discriminant grid has been determined through the Poisson equation and truncated Maxwellian distribution functions for the ions. The electrons are assumed to be repelled by the entrance grid. The non-linear adimensional equations have been solved approximately using linear expansion around the point with zero potential.
