Abstract

The corona discharge commonly occurs in many engineering devices and processes. Their application is still largely based on empirical knowledge; accordingly it is very important to predict the physical properties of corona discharge by the appropriate numerical method. To control corona discharge properly by understanding of corona discharge properties at different discharge stages, time-varying characteristics of discharge which are resulted from electron collision with the gas molecules should be investigated. A numerical study of a corona discharge in nitrogen in a point to plane geometry is presented. It is obtained by Monte Carlo method and concerns space-time evolution of electron and ion densities as well as electric field distributions along the discharge axis.
