Experimental setup

Discharge device

Composition of erosive compression plasma flow is determined by material of the inner electrode.

Plasma parameters in the air at atmospheric pressure:

discharge duration              — 150 - 300 msec;

peak current                        — 70 - 200 kA;

plasma velocity          — (2 - 5) x 10⁶ cm/sec;

electron density          — 10¹⁷ - 10¹⁸ cm^-3;

plasma temperature  — 2 - 4 eV
