Quantitative Schlieren Techniques Applied to High Current Arc Investigations

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Applications of quantitative schlieren techniques to pulsed high current electric arcs are described. A new formalism for the Abel inversion is derived that does not start from the small angle approximation. The numerical treatment of experimental data is given special attention. A pulsed argon laser was constructed that gives enough background intensity to outshine a 2000-A arc. Several high speed schlieren techniques were tried to obtain quantitative information about the density and temperature in the neighborhood of the arc.
