Study of the homogeneity of the current distribution in a dielectric barrier discharge in air by means of a segmented electrode

详细

The current distribution in a dielectric barrier discharge in atmospheric-pressure air at a natural humidity of 40–60% was studied experimentally with a time resolution of 200 ps. The experimental results are interpreted by means of numerically simulating the discharge electric circuit. The obtained results indicate that the discharge operating in the volumetric mode develops simultaneously over the entire transverse cross section of the discharge gap.
