Energy conversion in an oscillatory circuit and cylindrical discharge chamber during electric discharge in water

Abstract

The process of the conversion of capacitor bank energy as a result of a high-voltage electrical discharge in water that fills a closed discharge chamber into the plasma, liquid, and solid energy is studied. Mathematical modeling in a coupled geometrically and physically nonlinear statement of electrodynamic, hydrodynamic, and elastic–plastic wave processes in the discharge chamber is used as the main research method. We determine the distribution of the capacitor bank energy transferred into a plasma, liquid, and solid body through their contact boundaries in accordance with the parameters of the dynamic system.
