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 review focuses on one of the fundamental phenomena that occur upon application of
sufficiently strong electric fields to gases, namely the formation and propagation of ionization …

Guided ionization waves, or plasma streamers, are increasingly important for many
applications in spanning materials processing and biomedicine. The highly reproducible …

This paper presents formulation of computationally efficient models of photoionization
produced by non-thermal gas discharges in air based on three-group Eddington and …

We present and compare six simulation codes for positive streamer discharges from six
different research groups. Four groups use a fully self-implemented code and two make use …

A packed bed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) is widely used for plasma catalysis
applications, but the exact plasma characteristics in between the packing beads are far from …

Positive and negative streamers are studied in ambient air at 1 bar; they emerge from a
needle electrode placed 40 mm above a planar electrode. The amplitudes of the applied …

We simulate short positive and negative streamers in air at standard temperature and
pressure. First, double-headed streamers in homogeneous electric fields of 50 kV cm− 1 are …

A computational modeling study of streamer propagation in a cold, atmospheric-pressure,
helium jet in ambient air is presented. A self-consistent, multi-species, multi-temperature …

Positive streamers are thought to propagate by photo-ionization; the parameters of photo-
ionization depend on the nitrogen: oxygen ratio. Therefore we study streamers in nitrogen …
