Abstract
The spatial distribution of charged particles (electrons, negative ions and positive ions) and electric field have been evaluated using a semi-analytical approach of the positive and negative corona discharge for a wire-to-plate electrode system. Thus, approximate formulas useful for the characterization and control of corona discharge devices are provided, which helps to significantly reduce computational costs. Based on the obtained results, the electro-hydrodynamic (EHD) force generated by the corona discharge has been determined, and it has been used in the Navier-Stokes equations to compute the spatial distribution of the gas velocity. As a result, the influence of the corona plasma region in the flow pattern, particularly in the vicinity of the corona electrode, has been brought to light, which helps to understand the different flow velocities observed in positive and negative coronas. Moreover, the influence of voltage, wire radius, and inter-electrode separation on the electric wind velocity has been investigated.
