A Laboratory Experiment to Study Ion Wind Effects on the Warm Fog in an Enclosed Volume

Abstract— The ion wind ability to initiate motions in the originally motionless warm fog inside an enclosed volume is studied. The objective of the study is the experimental check of the possibility to exploit corona discharges for the warm fog modification. The experiment was carried out in a specialized laboratory unit in the Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics. The possibility of using the unit to explore the effect of corona discharges on warm fogs is clearly demonstrated.
