Development of a cathode-directed streamer discharge in air at different pressures : Experiment and comparison with direct numerical simulation

Résumé

The results are given of an experimental investigation of a cathode-directed streamer discharge in synthetic air in the pressure range from 760 to 300 torr and their comparison with the results of direct numerical simulation in a 2D hydrodynamic approximation. The pattern of discharge branching upon variation of pressure is investigated experimentally. The results are given of comparison of the predicted and measured values of anode current, streamer propagation velocity, and channel diameter. It has been demonstrated that the electric field in the streamer head is hardly affected by the pressure decrease, while the electron concentration decreases with pressure by an order of magnitude. At the same time, production of chemical species in a cathode-directed streamer discharge varies at a rate of at least the second power of inverse pressure.
