Facilitation of the Underwater Discharge Initiation with the Use of a Marx Generator

Abstract

The process of underwater discharge formation consists of three successive stages: an initiation phase, a streamer propagation phase and a spark phase. For the number of technical applications different methods of facilitation of streamer propagation are necessary.

This work presents investigation of the method of discharge initiation by preliminary high-voltage spark produced by Marx generator.
