Research of electromagnetic processes and production of powerful high-voltage high-frequency pulse power sources for electrodischarge technologies

Intelligent control systems for discharge pulse technologies (DPT)

Study of electrophysical processes and development of pulse high-voltage equipment for purification of gas exhausts from ecologically harmful industrial objects

Study of the processes of synthesis of carbon nanomaterials realized by the electrical discharge action on gaseous hydrocarbon media

Study of high-voltage high-frequency electrophysical processes for the development of the methods to increase the service life of technological objects, buildings, constructions, and various structures

Tendencies of the scientific and engineering activities of the department for the next 3-5 years:

Development of the theoretical and experimental bases in the field of nanosecond and microsecond generators production for the great pulse repetition frequency values at voltage range to 150 kV - a priority tendency.
This type of a generator allowed for acquiring a little-studied phenomenon - the volume streamer discharge constantly burning in a gas medium. The research of the phenomenon, ignition in multiphase and condensed media, and also the study of applied aspects of this phenomenon refers to the next tendency of the research activity of the department.
The applied value of the phenomenon is supposed to evolve towards use of the volume discharge for purification of furnace gases, nanomaterials production and compact shaping, influence on rheology of liquid viscous media, and other possible applications.
Development of the diagnostics and monitoring of electrophysical processes, development of applied aspects of high-frequency processes with respect to the monitoring and diagnostics systems for the dielectric state of objects.
Continuous work on refurbishment and improvement of the earlier devised high-voltage equipment for electrodischarge technologies taking into account the modern achievements of intelligent control systems.
