Abstract

A method for estimating the gas-dynamic characteristics of supersonic plasma jets based on the minimum number of plasma parameters (electron number density and temperature) that are easily measured by spectral diagnostic methods is considered. The course of the most important parameters characterizing the gas dynamics of the nonequilibrium plasma flow in the shock-wave region of a supersonic plasma jet created by a pulsed capillary discharge is revealed, and their values are estimated. A significant difference between the electron and gas temperatures was found in the vicinity of the central shock wave.
