Abstract

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of a pulse discharge in air at atmospheric pressure and the post-discharge channel decay. It is shown for the first time that a relatively small residual current suppresses the development of gas-dynamic instability and stabilizes the channel. The results of the experiments are compared with predictions of our previously developed theoretical model.
