Simulated avalanche formation around streamers in an overvolted air gap
arXiv:1101.1189 · doi:10.1109/TPS.2011.2163528
Abstract
We simulate streamers in air at standard temperature and pressure in a short overvolted gap. The simulation is performed with a 3D hybrid model that traces the single electrons and photons in the low density region, while modeling the streamer interior as a fluid. The photons are followed by a Monte-Carlo procedure, just like the electrons. The first simulation result is present here.
