Positive and negative streamers in ambient air: modeling evolution and velocities
Alejandro Luque, Valeria Ratushnaya, Ute Ebert
We simulate short positive and negative streamers in air at standard temperature and pressure. They evolve in homogeneous electric fields or emerge from needle electrodes with volt…
Interaction of streamers in air and other oxygen-nitrogen mixtures
A. Luque, U. Ebert, W. Hundsdorfer
The interaction of streamers in nitrogen-oxygen mixtures such as air is studied. First, an efficient method for fully three-dimensional streamer simulations in multiprocessor machi…
Saffman-Taylor streamers: mutual finger interaction in an electric breakdown
Alejandro Luque, Fabian Brau, Ute Ebert
Bunches of streamers form the early stages of sparks and lightning but theory presently concentrates on single streamers or on coarse approximations of whole breakdown trees. Here…
Construction and test of a moving boundary model for negative streamer discharges
Fabian Brau, Alejandro Luque, Bernard Meulenbroek +2
Starting from the minimal model for the electrically interacting particle densities in negative streamer discharges, we derive a moving boundary approximation for the ionization fr…
