In this paper, a review of general and specific properties of ionization waves—streamers is
presented. Characteristics of streamers in gases and liquids, sprites in the Earth's …

The generation of ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses is a challenging problem that involves
generating pulses with fast rise times on the order of 100 ps and voltages of more than 500 …

A compact, repetitive pulsed power system has many applications, but some basic aspects
of the breakdown characteristics need further investigation. The purpose of this paper is to …

The insulating liquids used in industrial applications are typically mineral oils. In recent
years however, significant attention has been paid to alternative insulating fluids, including …

Liquid dielectrics provide superior electrical breakdown strength and heat transfer capability,
especially when used in combination with liquid-immersed solid dielectrics. Over the past …

Experimental and modelling study of the pre-breakdown phenomenon in dielectric liquids,
generally called'streamers', is vital for the application of liquids in high voltage and power …

The impulse dielectric behavior of insulating liquids is of significant interest for researchers
and engineers working in the field of design, construction, and operation of pulsed power …

A model of streamer dynamics in hydrocarbon liquids is developed that accounts for liquid
vaporization and formation of a gaseous filament behind the streamer head. Results of …

Ultra-wideband (UWB) microwave sources and antennas are of interest for a variety of
applications, such as transient radar, mine detection, and unexploded ordnance (UXO) …

Surface flashover on epoxy resin (EP) materials, as driven by very fast transient-pulse
overvoltage, was studied in this research. Flashover experiments were conducted using a …
