Similarity criteria for shock waves of plasmodynamic discharges from magnetoplasma compressors in dense gases

Journal Article · · J. Appl. Mech. Tech. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01101638· OSTI ID:5695397
The authors determine similarity criteria and obtain relations relating instrument characteristics to the parameters of both the plasma formations and the shock waves which are formed due to such discharges. The results of this analysis can be used for studying and generalizing experimental data and for creating new, special-purpose, electrophysical devices based on magnetoplasma compressor discharges.
