Abstract

The electrohydrodynamic flow in air, being formed at issue of ions from plasma of the high-frequency barrier discharge is investigated. It is shown that velocity of a flow is proportional to intensity of electric field between the emitter and a collector of ions. All solid-state pulse generator with voltage of U f = 0-12 kV and pulse repetition rate of f = 10-25 kHz is applied to feed the plasma emitter. It is experimentally established that the increase in high voltage and frequency of the plasma emitter feeding leads to increase velocity of a gas flow. The circulation system with a gas flow rate more than 15 L s–1and velocity more than 1.6 m s–1 was proposed for electric-discharge lasers.
