Abstract :
A simple yet effective system using stacked circular disk electrodes is developed to generate pulsed multichannel discharge array in water. Images of the pulsed multichannel discharge generated in water were obtained by applying pulsed high voltage over thin circular metal disks sandwiched between a pair of dielectric disks. By stacking multiple circular disks, the present discharge array system can produce large-volume plasma desired for the treatment of a large volume of water.
