  • Abstract
    This paper is devoted to the study of gas flow fields related to helium atmospheric pressure guided streamer (plasma bullet) propagation in the air. For very weak up to moderate helium flows, the modification induced to the gas flow field by the plasma ignition is demonstrated; it is shown that the turbulent flow region is expanded and two conditions must be fulfilled regarding the working gas profile in the air for streamer propagation, i.e., laminar flow and high concentration in this laminar flow region.
