Abstract
This paper reports on a two-dimensional computer simulation of the breakdown phase performed for a plasma focus (PF) device. The spatial and temporal development of the electron density and the potential of the electric field are calculated by numerically solving the continuity equations for electrons and ions together with the Poisson equation. This model has been used to study the evolution of a discharge and its different characters depending on the applied gas pressure.
