Shock wave in a long-air-gap leader discharge

We report the shock wave phenomenon in an air-gap leader discharge observed using an interferometer. The continuous temporal evolution of the shock wave and plasma channel is recorded and reproduced with a thermohydrodynamic model based on the measured current, providing a prediction of the pressure...
