Abstract
Streamer discharges are important both in theory and industry applications. This paper proposed a local discontinuous Galerkin method to simulate the convection dominated fluid model of streamer discharges. To simulate the rapid transient streamer discharge process, a method with high resolution and high order accuracy is highly desired. Combining the advantages of finite volume and finite element method, local discontinuous Galerkin method is such a choice. In this paper, a simulation of a double-headed streamer discharge in nitrogen was performed by using 1.5-dimensional fluid model. The preliminary results indicate the potential of extending the method to general streamer simulations in complex geometries.
