Abstract
- A new computational model to understand the mechanism of discharges along the gas/solid interface at high voltage and high pressure is made based on the models of explosive electron emission, secondary emission, and neutral gas ionization by using finite-difference time domain-based particle-in-cell code. The charge particle movement at different durations is obtained at a pressure of 1 atmosphere. The profiles of phase space, the net charge density along the gap, and the effect of the dielectric on the characteristics of the gas discharge are presented. The ionization coefficient (α) and drift velocity (ve) calculated from simulation data closely match with the existing experimental results.
