Streamer-to-spark transition in interacting multi-channel pulsed discharges with gasdynamic effects

The development of a streamer-to-spark transition in atmospheric-pressure air driven by a capacitor discharge in a resistor–capacitor circuit is simulated. The radial gasdynamic expansion of interacting plasma channels, along with the current–voltage characteristics, translational temperatures, electron density, pressu...
