Abstract

In this work, we present numerical simulations of discharges in air at atmospheric pressure at 1000K and 300K between point electrodes to better understand and optimize the conditions to obtain a glow-like regime. An important step in the glow to spark transition of the discharge is the time of connection of discharges propagating in the gas gap. In this work we have shown that the voltage rise time and the maximal value of the applied voltage have a significant impact on the connection time. Conversely, the radius of point electrodes appears to have only a small influence on the connection time and the discharge dynamics.
