Calculating radio emissions of positive streamer phenomena using 3D simulations

Hemaditya Malla, Brian M. Hare, Steven Cummer +5

We study radio emissions from positive streamers in air using 3D simulations, from which the radiated electric field is computed by solving Jefimenko's equations. The simulations a…

High-resolution electric field and temperature distributions in positive streamers

Siebe Dijcks, Lukáš Kusýn, Jesper Janssen +3

In this work, we aim to take a detailed experimental picture of the positive streamer. We apply optical emission spectroscopy to the first negative system (FNS, ${\rm B}^2Σ_{\rm u}…

Quantitative modeling of streamer discharge branching in air

Zhen Wang, Siebe Dijcks, Yihao Guo +5

Streamer discharges are the primary mode of electric breakdown of air in lightning and high voltage technology. Streamer channels branch many times, which determines the developing…

Comparing simulations and experiments of positive streamers in air: steps toward model validation

Xiaoran Li, Siebe Dijcks, Sander Nijdam +3

We compare simulations and experiments of single positive streamer discharges in air at 100 mbar, aiming towards model validation. Experimentally, streamers are generated in a plat…

Radio emission from negative lightning leader steps reveals inner meter-scale structure

B. M. Hare, O. Scholten, J. Dwyer +19

We use the Low Frequency ARray (LOFAR) to probe the dynamics of the stepping process of negatively-charged plasma channels (negative leaders) in a lightning discharge. We observe t…

The physics of streamer discharge phenomena

Sander Nijdam, Jannis Teunissen, Ute Ebert

In this review we describe a transient type of gas discharge which is commonly called a streamer discharge, as well as a few related phenomena in pulsed discharges. Streamers are p…
