Theoretical Principles of Acoustic Radiation Created by Corona Discharge

It is suggested to use the method of acoustic noise generation by corona discharge to search for the presence of corona discharge. It is shown the physical processes of acoustic noise occurrence from the corona discharge—ionic current and the current displacement in the outer zone of the corona discharge. The experimental study of corona discharge and acoustic impromptu interconnection was carried out. The investigation confirmed the existence of the link between acoustics and corona discharge. During conducting the measurement experiment, the elements of the informational theory of measurements were used. The data were processed by methods of mathematical statistics. The analysis showed that the results of theoretical prediction and experimental measurements were not consistent, so there was a need for generalization and mathematical modeling. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out mathematical modeling in order to describe the acoustic and energy dependence of the corona discharge.
