Optical Spectra of the High Voltage Erosive Water Discharge

Plasma Physics 2008-04-03 v1

Abstract

In the present paper kinetics of emission spectra of the high voltage erosive water discharge at near ultraviolet and visible spectral ranges has been investigated. Obtained results show a similarity of physical properties of this discharge (and of corresponding plasmoids) to that of some other types of erosional discharges which also result in the formation of dust-gas fireballs.
