The author investigated experimentally the effect 
of the gasdynamics of the discharge chamber on the power characteristics 
of vortex plasmatrons with a sectioned interelectrode insert and a 
gas curtain of the sections, with porous bushings of the sections 
that ensure radial and tangential injections of the working gas into 
the discharge channel of the chamber, and with a water-cooled solid 
interelectrode insert. Results of the investigations demonstrate a 
substantial effect of the gasdynamics of the discharge chamber on 
the power characteristics of vortex plasmatrons with interelectrode 
inserts.
