Photoionization in negative streamers: fast computations and two propagation modes
Alejandro Luque, Ute Ebert, Carolynne Montijn +1
Streamer discharges play a central role in electric breakdown of matter in pulsed electric fields, both in nature and in technology. Reliable and fast computations of the minimal m…
The multiscale nature of streamers
Ute Ebert, Carolynne Montijn, T. M. P. Briels +4
Streamers are a generic mode of electric breakdown of large gas volumes. They play a role in the initial stages of sparks and lightning, in technical corona reactors and in high al…
Numerical convergence of the branching time of negative streamers
Carolynne Montijn, Ute Ebert, Willem Hundsdorfer
In sufficiently large gaps and electric fields, discharge streamers do branch. In [Arrayas et al., PRL 88, 174502 (2002)], we observed streamer branching numerically within a deter…
Diffusion correction to the avalanche--to--streamer transition
C. Montijn, U. Ebert
Space-charge dominated streamer discharges can emerge in free space from single electrons. We reinvestigate the Raether-Meek criterion and show that streamer emergence depends not…
