Self-Organized Pattern of DBD Microdischarges due to Streamer Interaction

Self-Organized Pattern of DBD Microdischarges due to Streamer Interaction 

the interaction of streamers in DBD can lead to the formation of an organized structure of microdischarges (similar to Coulomb crystals see Fridman Kennedy, 2004), which plays a significant (sometimes positive, sometimes negative) role in plasma-chemical applications. From this perspective it is important to analyze how highly organized the 

2004) and its simulation (see Section 4.1.6, Fig. 4-11) are shown in Figs. 4-12 and 4-13. The Voronoi analysis of a random dot pattern (case without microdischatge interaction) is shown for comparison in Fig. 4-14. The comparison demonstrates the importance of short-range interaction between microdischarges in DBD. One way to numerically express 

Steady-State Regimes of Non-Equilibrium Electric Discharges and General Regimes Controlled by Volume and Surface Recombination Processes 

Steady-state regimes of non-equilibrium discharges are provided by a balance between generation and loss of charged particles. The generation of electrons and positive ions is mostly due to volume ionization processes (Section 2.1). To sustain the steady-state
