Abstract:
Miniature analogs of starters and blue jets that are observed in the upper atmosphere of the Earth and have dimensions of tens of kilometers are formed and studied in air and nitrogen at pressures of tens and hundreds of Torr. Ministarters and mini blue jets have been obtained in laboratory experiments owing to the application of a pulse-periodic discharge with a plasma jet referred to as apokamp. The velocities of propagation of apokamps have been measured at various pressures. It has been found that the average values of these velocities are about the velocities of propagation of starters and blue jets in the atmosphere of the Earth. It has been shown that jets (apokamps) with the maximum length are observed in the pressure range corresponding to the altitudes of appearance and propagation of starters and blue jets.
