The invention discloses an
underwater pulse discharge experimental device and method, and belongs to the technical field of high-
voltage discharge, the experimental device comprises a device cavity, and an
electrode system and a reflecting cover are arranged in the device cavity; the
electrode system is of a coaxial structure and is sequentially provided with a
metal central core wire, an insulating layer and an annular
metal shell from inside to outside, and the reflecting cover is nested on the outer side of the annular
metal shell and is fixedly connected with the insulating layer; the
electrode system comprises a high-
voltage side rod electrode and a grounding side rod electrode, the center points of the high-
voltage side rod electrode and the grounding side rod electrode coincide with the first focus of the reflecting cover, the grounding side rod electrode is fixed to the annular metal shell, and the high-voltage side rod electrode receives high-voltage pulses generated by the pulse high-voltage power source through a metal central core wire to achieve pulse discharging in water. And the generated shock
waves are converged at a second focus after being reflected by the reflecting cover. According to the invention, the
peak pressure and the utilization efficiency of shock
waves are improved, different reflecting covers can be replaced, the experimental flexibility is realized, and a comprehensive
experimental research platform for discharging in water, which is complete in function and convenient to operate, is provided.
