Course Content
Field analysis: experimental and numerical (finite difference, finite element and charge simulation) methods and applications. Electrical breakdown in gases: ionization processes. Townsend s breakdown criterion, Paschens Law, bread-down in electronegative gases, time lags. Streamer-Kanal mechanism, breakdown in non-uniform field and corona.
