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

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

We compare simulations and experiments of single positive streamer discharges in air at 100 mbar, aiming toward model validation. Experimentally, streamers are generated in a plateā€“plate geometry with a protruding needle. We are able to capture the complete time evolution of reproducible single-filament streamers with a ns gate-time camera. A ā€¦
