The study explores charge transport dynamics in polyethylene, a common solid dielectric insulation material. It employs a bipolar charge transport model to calculate the densities of electrons, holes, and their trapped counterparts. The simulation's outcomes for discharge current and ... Read More
This model shows how to simulate the complex discharge physics behind the well-known electrostatic discharge (ESD). The model connects the Electrical Discharge interface with the Circuit interface to simulate how ESD current is generated when a human hand touches metal. Read More
This model utilizes a continuation solver to efficiently compute the current-voltage characteristics of a corona discharge generated by a wire-to-wire configuration. It provides a flexible framework that can be easily adapted to study other discharge configurations and types. Read More
This example simulates Trichel pulses produced by negative corona discharge under a point-to-plate configuration. The electron density and the electric field are obtained, as well as the discharge current. The discharge current clearly shows the pulsating characters. Each current pulse ... Read More
Usually limited to a specific region, corona discharges appear as a consistent luminosity. The attributes of steady glow corona discharges change depending on their polarity. Positive glow corona, also referred to as Hermstein's glow or ultra corona, presents a direct current (DC) aspect ... Read More
This model simulates the propagation of a positive streamer in a weak electric field where the process of photoionization is essential to provide seed electrons at the front of the streamer head. The simulated electric field and electron density as a function of time agree well with that ... Read More
This model simulates the propagation of a double-headed streamer in nitrogen at atmospheric pressure. Initially, electron-positive ion clusters were introduced between two parallel electrodes, subjecting the gas to a strong background electric field of 52 kV/cm. Subsequently, both the ... Read More
The example shows how to generate a discharge model from the Reaction Engineering interface with a self-defined discharge chemistry. It reproduces the library model 127181 (Double-Headed Streamer in Parallel-Plate Electrodes). Read More
