Theoretical modelling of the development of the positive spark in long gaps

The proposed model is based on simplified simulation of the successive phases of discharge development. It has been successfully tested over a wide range of experimental conditions, including different electrode configurations, gap lengths, overvoltages and voltage waveforms. The growing practical i...

Description
Summary:The proposed model is based on simplified simulation of the successive phases of discharge development. It has been successfully tested over a wide range of experimental conditions, including different electrode configurations, gap lengths, overvoltages and voltage waveforms. The growing practical interest in self consistent modelling of lightning discharges gives rise to a new set of applications for the model.
