Streamer Propagation in Liquids and over Liquid-Solid Interfaces

Abstract

The recent activity in the area of prebreakdown streamer development has produced a considerable quantity of data characterizing the phenomena. It is not the aim of this paper to review in detail this work, much of which has been discussed in two recent reviews [1,2]. Rather we hope to point out from this work in non-uniform field geometries, some interesting observations which are striking and could offer insight into the mechanisms operative, yet at present remain unexplained.
