Abstract :
A numerical solution of electrical discharges in a point-plane geometry is presented. It is based on the hypotheses of laplacian electrical fields and stochastic growth. The adopted algorithm is robust and is able to reproduce several types of electrical discharge phenomena; moreover, the discharge patterns obtained fit well with experimental realizations
