Abstract

In this work, we investigate the expansion of the hot gas kernel and pressure wave induced by electrical discharges near the minimum ignition energy experimentally by means of a schlieren setup and numerically through one-dimensional simulations. The effects of discharge energy and energy density on the expansion are discussed. Via comparison of experimental values with numerical simulations, an estimate of the overall losses of the discharge is presented.
