Two-Dimensional Simulation Images of Pulsed Corona Discharges in a Wire–Plate Reactor

Abstract

Abstract—Two-dimensional time-dependent numerical simulations on a pulsed corona discharge are presented in a wire–plate reactor. The discharge modeling includes the three modules for the corona discharge, reactive species generation, and plasma properties. Two-dimensional images of the electron density and electric field intensity illustrate that streamer propagation is strongly influenced by the reactor geometry, particularly, the neighboring wire distance.
