Thermal turbulence in an electric arc

  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

Abstract

By analyzing the correlations of current-voltage characteristics we show the predominance of turbulent heat exchange by convection and conduction in a longitudinally blown helium arc. The presence of “thermal” turbulence in the near-axial zone of this arc has been verified experimentally by investigating the radiation intensity.
