Abstract:

This report presents the preliminary results of an experimental investigation of electromagnetic properties of an ionized gas induced by a shock wave in a shock tube. The shock velocity has been measured using a microwave technique based on the resonat properties of the tube as a waveguide. Electrostatic measurements have been conducted in the ionized gas they show that the ionized gas becomes positively charged with respect to the wall of the tube. Author
