A Nanosecond High-Current Discharge in a Supersonic Gas Flow

Abstract: The parameters of a nanosecond self-sustained volume discharge with pre-ionization of gas by UV radiation in an air flow are investigated. In the case of nonuniform distribution of the flow parameters, the discharge "contracts" to regions of lower density of gas, which become sources of higher intensity of glow. Comparison is made of the specific energy release in the self-sustained discharge at the stage of its uniform combustion and during self-localization in the zone of discontinuities (gradients) of gasdy… Show more

“…Shadowgraph images (light refraction) captured by high-speed camera at 124 000 frames/s Supersonic gas flow structure can be visualized by the electrical discharge [5]. Discharge plasma in gas volume follows shapes of discontinuities, inhomogeneities, streamlines because discharge electric current strongly depends on the E/N ratio [5,6]. Fig.…”

“…Supersonic gas flow structure may be visualized by the electrical discharge [5]. Discharge plasma in gas volume follows shapes of discontinuities, inhomogeneities, streamlines because discharge electric current strongly depends on the E/N ratio [5,6]. Figure 5 presents 9 frames of discharge glow zone: ionization upon interaction of a shock wave with a pulse volume discharge in the nanosecond range.…”

“…It was shown 10,13,14 that about 20%-50% of the high current nanosecond discharge's energy is directly converted to the gas heating. The vibrational-translational relaxation time for the other part of the discharge's energy is quite long ͑more than 10 −4 s͒, so under the conditions of the described experimental setup, we may consider only the instant part of the energy release.…”
