Physical-mathematical model is proposed for description of acceleration of the detonation wave, and calculations of gas-dynamic characteristics of plasma Jets generated by a plasma detonation unit were performed. Effect of electric parameters of the discharge circuit on temperature and velocity of plasma behind the detonation wave was analysed. It is established that decrease in inductance leads to a considerable growth of the above plasma characteristics.
Keywords: pulsed plasma flow, amplitude-time characteristics, plasma, parameters of electric circuit
