On negative streamers: a deterministic approach
arXiv:physics/0311095 · doi:10.1119/1.1773175
Abstract
In dielectric breakdown, the phenomena of streamers formation and spontaneous branching is commonly observed. A deterministic negative streamer model is reviewed in this article. We recently have proposed that this reduced model is able to explain the branching phenomena, due to a Laplacian instability quite like in viscous fingering. Particular attention is paid to the physical interpretation of the model.
