TRANSIENT DISCHARGES IN WHIRL STABILIZED ARCS

Abstract

Experiments were conducted to study the problem of heating and stability of pulsed discharges. In order to have reproducible conditions and de fined geometry a predischarge representing a highly ionized plasma was used and described. Then, the basic equations for the heating process which were developed in our institute and the main features of a model which allows to apply them to a cylindrical discharge are summarized.
