Abstract
The paper analyses the details of the application of the hybrid model for calculation of the formation of high-pressure gas discharge in conditions where the transition of electrons into runaway mode is possible. In hybrid model, PIC MC method is used only for calculation of runaway electrons, and the standard hydrodynamic approach is used for calculation of plasma electrons. Using such model can significantly reduce computing resources. The results of calculation of kinetics of electrons emitted from a micro-spike on the cathode during the formation of the cathode layer of nanosecond and sub-nanosecond high-pressure gas discharge are presented. The conditions of transition of electrons into runaway mode at this stage and their influence on the further formation of the gas discharge are analyzed.
