Two-dimensional numerical modelling of the cathode-directed streamer development in a long gap at high voltage (2003, methodology): “Geometry of the problem used in simulations and corresponding to the experimental conditions of [4].”
Recent advances in theory of transient luminous events (2010, result): “…regions associated with tips of sprite streamers, in full agreement with the similar phenomenology of streamers documented in point‐to‐plane discharge geometry in laboratory experiments [Simek et al., 1998; Simek, 2002; van Veldhuizen and Rutgers, 2002; Yi and Williams, 2002; Ebert et al., 2006].”
Effects of photoionization on propagation and branching of positive and negative streamers in sprites (2004, background): “However, some experiments were conducted at low pressures with the same applied voltages so effective fields in excess of 1.6Ek were considered [Yi and Williams, 2002, Figure 10].”
Probing photo-ionization: experiments on positive streamers in pure gases and mixtures (2009, methodology): “Yi and Williams [37] use a 130 mm plane–plane geometry with protruding point, where the protruding point is a 3.”
The physics of streamer discharge phenomena (2020, methodology): “Other available methods to measure streamer velocities are streak cameras [88, 92, 341, 346], although only for known”
