Corona-like multistreamer discharge in water for cylindrical shock wave generation

  • Published:
Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The paper reports on the first results of apparatus for converging cylindrical shock wave in water (SHOW device). The first part of this paper describes parameters of the corona-like multi-streamer discharge. In the second part there are reported the first experimental results of a combined schlieren/shadow diagnostic. The experiment is aimed at investigation of time-development of the pressure field of shock wave, determination of the dimension of shock-wave-focus, and estimate of the pressure amplitude in the shock-wave-focus.
