Abstract
This work presents a model, which describes the formation of an intense turbulent flow in an after-spark channel. For the first time, to our knowledge, the dependence of the gas cooling process characteristics on a relatively small residual current in the channel has been demonstrated. It has been shown that each current pulse has its corresponding critical value of the residual current stabilizing the cooling channel under the quasi-stationary arc condition (featuring relatively high temperature and conductivity of the channel).
