Corona Discharge in Coaxial Cylindrical Electrodes
Application ID: 148111
This model examines the behavior of a positive corona formed between concentric cylindrical conductors exposed to high applied voltages. The predicted current–voltage response closely matches the measurements. Rather than reproducing individual positive glow corona bursts, the setup focuses on the overall I–V curve by placing a small, constant population of charge carriers at the electrode surfaces. For simulations that resolve the temporal dynamics of glow pulses, refer to the positive_glow_corona example in the application library.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
