In this review we describe a transient type of gas discharge which is commonly called a
streamer discharge, as well as a few related phenomena in pulsed discharges. Streamers …

This paper contains the foundation for a new Particle-In-Cell model for gas discharges,
based on Îto diffusion and Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC). In the new model the electrons are …

Results are presented from experimental and computational studies of a subnanosecond
breakdown of atmospheric-pressure air in a nonuniform electric field. It is shown that the …

CO 2 is a promising gas for the replacement of SF 6 in high-voltage transmission and
distribution networks due to its lower environmental impact. The insulation properties of CO …

Streamer discharges are thin plasma channels that precede lightning and sparks. They
usually evolve in bundles as stochastic tree-like structures and are inherently difficult to …

Sub-nanosecond delays of light emitted by streamer in atmospheric pressure air: Analysis of
N2(⁠C3Πu⁠) and N2+(⁠B2Σu+⁠) emissions and fundamental streamer structure | Journal of …

This paper reports a modeling study on the dynamics of relatively long streamers initiated
from an isolated hydrometeor in subbreakdown (0.5 Ek) and overbreakdown (1.5 Ek) electric …

Compared with the diffuse mode of helium plasma jets, a filamentary mode is normally
produced in the plasma plume with less expensive inert gas, such as argon, which is …

Residual charged particles from previous discharges or external sources can produce some
localized plasma regions, so called plasma patches in a discharge gap. Such plasma …

One of the main problems in the Ultra High Voltage (UHV) transmission project is to choose
the external insulation distance, which requires a deep understanding of the long air gap …
