Abstract

A numerical study of the impact of different model coefficients on the frequency, DC current, and the rise time of the Trichel pulses in a needle-plane negative corona discharge is presented here. The studied coefficients include the coefficients of the ionization and attachment reactions, the mobilities of the three charged species considered in the model (electrons and positive and negative ions), and the coefficient of the secondary emission of electrons. The characteristics of the pulses were also studied using another set of model coefficients which includes an extended number of reactions such as detachment of the electrons from negative ions.
