The physics of streamer discharge phenomena
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 …

The effect of the stochasticity of photoionization on 3D streamer simulations
B Bagheri, J Teunissen - Plasma Sources Science and …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Positive streamer discharges require a source of free electrons ahead of them for their
growth. In air, these electrons are typically provided by photoionization. Here we investigate …

3D fluid modeling of positive streamer discharges in air with stochastic photoionization
R Marskar - Plasma Sources Science and Technology, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …
