Analytical Approximation of Corona Discharge and Dielectric Barrier Corona Discharge with Multi Points to Plane Configuration

Abstract

Electric field and current density produced by multi-point plane configurations to plane configuration of the corona plasma generators have been determined theoretically. The aims of this calculation are to determine the formulation of electric field and current density.  The result shows that the plasma generator can produce an electric field whose value varies at different points around the electrode (nonuniform). The total electric field of the resulting from the superposition of the electric field vector of each point is only in the direction of z-axis due to the symmetry of the electric field vector. Current density value shows that the multi-points to plane electrode configuration produced saturated currents due to their asymmetric electrode. Other factors affecting the current density are the charge carrier mobility particle.
