By employing multi-frame laser interferometry, shadow, and schlieren imaging, we trace the
formation of a nanosecond spark discharge in millimeter-sized air gaps formed by a point …

In this paper, we report on results from a computational investigation of nanosecond pulsed
discharges in air of negative polarity using a two-dimensional fluid and fluid-Monte Carlo …

The results of recent experimental and numerical studies of nanosecond high-voltage
discharges in pressurized gases are reviewed. The discharges were ignited in a diode filled …

The initial stage of the fast electrical breakdown of an air gap with a pin-to-plane electrode
geometry is studied on a nanosecond time scale using multi-frame laser probing with an …

This article will review two popular methods of laser diagnostics in a plasma–liquid system
and generally in low-temperature plasmas. These are Thomson scattering and laser …

Streamer-to-spark transition and hydrodynamic expansion in a three-electrode pulsed
surface dielectric barrier discharge are studied under atmospheric-pressure air. Three …

Experimental results of a study of the electric field in a plasma channel produced during
nanosecond discharge at a H 2 gas pressure of (2− 3)× 1 0 5 Pa by the coherent anti-Stokes …

Time-and space-resolved visible-emission spectroscopy measurements are applied to study
plasma parameters in nanosecond electrical discharges in He gas at pressure of 10 5 Pa …

We investigate the formation of a secondary flow of runaway electrons with energies on the
order of 100 keV in an air gap after the passage of a primary picosecond flow of similar fast …

The results of a study of the nanosecond discharge in H 2 gas at pressures of (1–3)× 10 5
Pa using fast-framing photography and space-and time-resolved spectroscopy are …
