Growth of raileigh-taylor type instability on the surface of discharge channel in liquid

Abstract

The investigations of growth of corrugations are conducted which arise on an interface between both the plasma channels of electrical pulse discharges and limiting it liquid. The approximate hydrodynamical model of growth of that perturbations constructed and is exhibited, that the corrugations result from Rayleigh-Taylor type instability. The possible mechanisms of saturation of instability surveyed.
