Reconnection and merging of positive streamers in air
S. Nijdam, C. G. C. Geurts, E. M. van Veldhuizen +1
Pictures show that streamer or sprite discharge channels emerging from the same electrode sometimes seem to reconnect or merge though their heads carry electric charge of the same…
Positive and negative streamers in ambient air: measuring diameter, velocity and dissipated energy
T. M. P. Briels, J. Kos, G. J. J. Winands +2
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 voltag…
Positive streamers in air and nitrogen of varying density: experiments on similarity laws
T. M. P. Briels, E. M. van Veldhuizen, Ute Ebert
Positive streamers in ambient air at pressures from 0.013 to 1 bar are investigated experimentally. The voltage applied to the anode needle ranges from 5 to 45 kV, the discharge ga…
Stereo-photography of point-plane streamers in air
S. Nijdam, J. S. Moerman, T. M. P. Briels +2
Standard photographs of streamer discharges show a two-dimensional projection. We here present stereo-photographic images that resolve their three-dimensional structure. We describ…
