Abstract :
An experimental investigation has been conducted to study the morphology of electrical discharge performed in a plate-to-plate configuration. An electrical breakdown in the plate-to-plate configuration is generally difficult to produce because of a weak uniform electric field in the interelectrode region. The electrical discharge is generated when a shock wave is used. It generates a number of cavitation bubbles, which serve as locations for the streamers growth. Time-resolved observation of the electrical discharge in plate-to-plate configuration using high-speed camera is presented.
