Abstract :
A one-dimensional model of the quasi-stationary vacuum arc is considered in terms of a four-flow hydrodynamics approximation. The presented model allows calculating kinetics of evaporated atom volume ionization and distribution of the main parameters characterizing each flow over the interelectrode gap
