Abstract :
Computer investigations devoted to hot filaments of streamer microwave (MW) discharge features and to shock wave (SW) ($Mapprox 1.5$ ) propagation through the MW filaments area have been made. Analysis of SW propagation through the hot filaments showed that there is a strong influence on SW, which leads to SW destruction at some filament forms and displacement. This shows a possibility of MW discharge hot filament applicability for technologies.
