A multi-physics numerical model for laser-induced optical breakdown and laser-plasma
interaction in a non-equilibrium gas is presented, accounting for: production of priming …

This paper presents a self-consistent multi-dimensional mathematical model and a
numerical approach for simulating the low-temperature plasma induced by the femtosecond …

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

Lightning is highly destructive due to its high power density and unpredictable character.
Directing lightning away would allow to protect sensitive sites from its direct and indirect …

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 …

The present study deals with numerical simulations of microwave (MW) discharges in
nitrogen based on extended fluid-dynamic model. The set of governing equations for non …

The formation dynamics of the parameters of a microwave discharge in air localized at
electric field maxima created by a specially developed focusing system is investigated using …

In this paper, we observe the dynamic expansion process of positive leader channels under
impulses with different rise times in a 1-m air gap using a Mach-Zehnder interferometry and …

A two-dimensional mathematical model of dual-pulse laser ignition that self-consistently
integrates Navier-Stokes, translational and vibrational energy, and neutral and charged …

A substantially extended lifetime of a high-density plasma channel generated in the wake of
an intense femtosecond pulse propagating in air is experimentally demonstrated. Free …
