Abstract :
The prebreakdown phases of a barrier discharge in a short gap in atmospheric-pressure air are investigated by numerical modeling. A highly nonhomogeneous electric field caused by residual charges deposited on the dielectric surfaces is taken into account. The simulation results of barrier discharge radiation are compared with experimental data.
