Abstract
The electrical conductivity is a key parameter affecting the characteristics of pulsed discharge. In the needle-needle electrode configuration, this article investigated the electrical and optical characteristics of underwater microsecond pulsed arc discharge with conductivities ranging from 390 to $2500~\mu $ S/cm. The effect of conductivity on average pre-breakdown delay and breakdown voltage was evaluated overall. For six typical discharge cases under different conductivities, a comparative analysis of discharge characteristics before and after gap breakdown was conducted. Higher conductivity resulted in increased conduction current and energy leakage during the pre-breakdown stage, thereby influencing the arc discharge stage. Images and emission spectra of the plasma channel under different conductivities were captured, the morphology of the arc channel was compared, and the time-varying characteristics of the electron density were diagnosed. The results demonstrated that the conductivity changed the energy deposition characteristics of the plasma channel, consequently affecting electron density.
