Comparison Of Two Models For Breakdown Waves, Debra Burris, Mostafa Hemmati Jan 1992

Comparison Of Two Models For Breakdown Waves, Debra Burris, Mostafa Hemmati

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

In this paper, the two theories concerning the propagation of breakdown waves are compared. The two theories are as follows: 1. The photoionization theory, in which the driving force of the propagation is the electromagnetic radiation from the hot gas generated at the electrode with the greatest potential gradient. 2. The electron fluid dynamical theory, in which the driving force of the propagation is the partial pressure of the high temperature electron gas generated in the neighborhood of the pulsed electrode. Successes in explaining the experimental data will be compared.
