Abstract

Two-dimensional time-dependent numerical simulations on a pulsed corona discharge are presented in a wire-plate reactor. The discharge modeling includes the three modules for the corona discharge, reactive species generation, and plasma properties. Two-dimensional images of the electron density and electric field intensity illustrate that streamer propagation is strongly influenced by the reactor geometry, particularly, the neighboring wire distance
