Abstract
Based on a theoretical method of dimensional and similarity analysis and on published experimental data on the dynamics of corona discharges in strong electrolytes, dimensionless numbers are found which make manifest the approximate similarity of electrophysical and hydro/gasdynamic phenomena. A physical experiment is carried out, and generalized time dependences are obtained for the current, voltage across the interelectrode gap, and plasma radius in terms of these similarity numbers.
