Abstract :
Numerical results concerning a needle/plane configuration with a two layer dielectric have been presented by adopting, in the simulation algorithm, a fully three-dimensional calculation of the electric field governing the growth process of the tree. Realistic physical parameters such as voltage drop along the tree channel have been considered in the model
