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 …

In recent decades particular interest in applications of nonequilibrium plasma for the
problems of plasma-assisted ignition and plasma-assisted combustion has been observed …

This paper is an introductory review of the problem of front propagation into unstable states.
Our presentation is centered around the concept of the asymptotic linear spreading velocity …

This paper presents formulation of computationally efficient models of photoionization
produced by non-thermal gas discharges in air based on three-group Eddington and …

Modeling studies indicate that double‐headed streamers originating from single electron
avalanches in lightning‐driven quasi‐static electric fields at mesospheric altitudes …

In this paper, we give a detailed review of recent work carried out on the numerical
characterization of non-thermal gas discharge plasmas in air at atmospheric pressure. First …

Streamers are thin filamentary plasmas that can initiate spark discharges in relatively short
(several centimeters) gaps at near ground pressures and are also known to act as the …

The propagation and branching of pulsed positive corona streamers in a short gap is
observed with high resolution in space and time. The appearance of the pre-breakdown …

Streamer discharges play a central role in electric breakdown of matter in pulsed electric
fields, both in nature and in technology. Reliable and fast computations of the minimal model …

It is by now well understood that large sprite discharges at the low air densities of the
mesosphere are physically similar to small streamer discharges in air at standard …
