Abstract
. We present a numerical model of stepped leader growth dur ing dielectric breakdown process in homogenous media. The electrodes and the stepped leader were modelled as conductors surrounded by a homogenous dielectric medium. We took in account the observations of a stepped leader in atmosphere and used a quasi-static approach. To simulate the time space, we alternatingly added a streamer to the leader and solved the system for unknown charges with method of moments, using Galerkin approach. For different values of generalized dielectric temperature kT and initial electrical energy C 0 U 2 /2 the results of the model were interpreted as various kinds of discharges, like corona, cold discharge, and discharges with branched leaders. The results suggest the existence of a single parameter that determines the type of breakdown in the particular class of discharges.
. 本文建立了均匀介质中介电击穿过程阶梯引线生长的数值模型。电极和阶梯引线被模拟为被均匀介电介质包围的导体。我们考虑了阶梯引导者在大气中的观测结果,并采用了准静态方法。为了模拟时间空间,我们在前导上交替增加了一条拖缆,并利用伽辽金方法对系统进行了未知电荷的矩量求解。对于不同的广义介质温度kT和初始电能c0 U 2 /2,模型的结果被解释为电晕、冷放电和支导线放电等多种放电形式。结果表明,在特定类型的放电中,存在一个单一的参数来决定击穿的类型。
