Abstract

The objective of this work is to study the propagation of an air discharge at atmospheric pressure with radial geometrical constraints. These constraints are introduced by placing a capillary glass tube around the discharge area. The problem is studied using a fluid model which allows variation of different physical processes and parameters. Two surface processes are included on the dielectric surface: Secondary electron emission by impact of ions and photoemission.The influence of the inner radius of the glass tube, applied voltage shape and the photoemission coefficient on the structure and velocity of the discharge are presented. Two methods are used to calculate the discharge current.
