Abstract
It is shown here that the late hydrodynamic effects of fast spark discharges (dI/dt‖t=0≥1010 A/sec), i.e., after the discharge period, can be described by a point explosion simulation. The solution is not self‐similar since counterpressure has to be taken into consideration. This non‐self‐similar model is confirmed experimentally by shock wave position and velocity measurements.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
