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 …

Lightning is a well-known life-threatening natural phenomenon. The lightning not only
threatens the life of humans and animals but also threatens the nominal operation of …

Knowing which processes and species are responsible for discharge inception is important
for being able to speed up, delay, or completely avoid it. We study discharge inception in …

During an aircraft's flight through the atmosphere, the aircraft structure interacts with the
surrounding environment. One of the potential hazards that can occur is a lightning strike to …

Lightning is observed to incept in thundercloud electric fields below the threshold value Ek
for discharge initiation. To explain this, the local enhancement of the electric field by …

Although plenty of studies have been conducted over the years, the question of how
lightning is initiated inside thunderclouds is still one of the biggest unsolved problems in …

Numerical simulations are a great tool to study plasma physics. However, the nature of a
plasma leads to the significant presence of a particle's or a molecule's (ro-vibrational) …

This paper shows and discusses the results of observing of inception near a dielectric
particle. A high voltage is used to create a potential in the area between two electrodes …
