In this review we describe a transient type of gas discharge which is commonly called a
streamer discharge, as well as a few related phenomena in pulsed discharges. Streamers …

This manuscript reviews published works related to plasma assistance in supersonic
combustion; focusing on mixing enhancement, ignition and flameholding. A special attention …

The results of experimental study of plasma-based mixing, ignition and flameholding in a
supersonic model combustor are presented in the paper. The model combustor has a length …

Multiphoton ionization (MPI) is a fundamental first step in high-energy laser-matter
interaction and is important for understanding the mechanism of plasma formation. With the …

This work reports the measurement of two-dimensional electron properties over a
nanosecond scale integration time across a femtosecond laser-induced plasma filament in …

Because positive streamers propagate opposite to the electron drift velocity, their growth not
only depends on the local electric field, but also on the electron density ahead of them. We …

Streamer discharges are a primary mode of electric breakdown in thunderstorms and high
voltage technology; they are generally believed to grow along electric field lines. However …

The temporal evolution of a plasma channel at the trail of a self-guided femtosecond laser
pulse was studied experimentally and theoretically in air, nitrogen (with an admixture of∼ …

The results of experiments and theoretical modeling of the multiple filamentation of terawatt-
power femtosecond laser pulses on a 137 m long air path are presented. We use a …

Streamer interaction with localized quasi-neutral (electron-ion and ion-ion) and charged
plasma clouds is simulated using a 2D fluid model. Depending on the type of plasma and …
