Description

Streamer-to-spark transition in short non-uniform air gaps is simulated. Both kinetic and gas dynamic effects are accounted for. The dependence of the streamer-to-spark transition time τbr on the applied voltage is obtained. Calculated values of τbr agree with the available experimental data
