【Abstract】 To meet the requirements of modern marine high resolution seismic exploration where sound source can generate repetitive,stable and specific acoustic emission,plasma seismic source(PSS) for marine high resolution seismic exploration is described which is based on plasma corona discharge in sea water.Intensive shockwaves are produced when electrical energy stored in capacitors is dumped through electrohydraulic discharge.Pulsed power technology,pulsed corona discharge process,dynamics of bubble oscillation and acoustical emissions are theoretically and experimentally studied.Experimental results of power efficiency of power source,bubble dynamics and acoustical emissions are presented and discussed.After 9 years research and development,PSS has been successfully applied in high resolution seismic exploration,showing a good prospect in underwater acoustic applications.Three typical prototypes of PSS with discharge energies of 500 J per pulse,10 kJ per pulse and 50 kJ per pulse have been developed,their parameters and advantages are also presented.更多还原
