Abstract :
A simulated model of discharge evolution has been developed to reproduce the surface discharge of two circular electrodes based experimental tests. This model uses the finite element method for field calculation and takes into account the randomness of the discharge progression. The discharge shape is quantified by its fractal´s dimension.
