Streamer propagation in humid air
A. Malagón-Romero, A. Luque
We investigate the effect of humidity on the propagation of streamers in air. We present a minimal set of chemical reactions that takes into account the presence of water in a nont…
A domain-decomposition method to implement electrostatic free boundary conditions in the radial direction for electric discharges
Alejandro Malagón-Romero, Alejandro Luque
At high pressure electric discharges typically grow as thin, elongated filaments. In a numerical simulation this large aspect ratio should ideally translate into a narrow, cylindri…
Modeling streamer discharges as advancing imperfect conductors
A. Luque, M. González, F. J. Gordillo-Vázquez
A major obstacle for the understanding of long electrical discharges is the complex dynamics of streamer coronas, formed by many thin conducting filaments. Building macroscopic mod…
Growing discharge trees with self-consistent charge transport: the collective dynamics of streamers
Alejandro Luque, Ute Ebert
We introduce the generic structure of a growth model for branched discharge trees that consistently combines a finite channel conductivity with the physical law of charge conservat…
Electron density fluctuations accelerate the branching of streamer discharges in air
A. Luque, U. Ebert
Branching is an essential element of streamer discharge dynamics but today it is understood only qualitatively. The variability and irregularity observed in branched streamer trees…
Moving boundary approximation for curved streamer ionization fronts: Numerical tests
Fabian Brau, Alejandro Luque, Benny Davidovitch +1
Recently a moving boundary approximation for the minimal model for negative streamer ionization fronts was extended with effects due to front curvature; this was done through a sys…
