STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF DECREASE IN THE CONDUCTIVITY AHEAD OF A SHOCK WAVE IN A GLOW-DISCHARGE PLASMA

The electrical conductivity of a glow-discharge plasma ahead of a shock wave moving perpendicularly to the discharge axis has been investigated using a double electric probe. The obtained results have shown that the interaction of the shock wave with the glow-discharge plasma is accompanied by a change in its conductivity in the entire investigated volume simultaneously.
