  • Abstract
    This paper describes the gliding arc operated in four different noble gases (helium, neon, argon, and krypton) under normal gravity and hypergravity conditions up to 18 g. We studied the influence of gas flow, gas properties, and gravity-dependent buoyancy on the gliding arc behavior.
