A Phenomenological Model of Soil Breakdown.

Abstract

This report characterizes electrical soil breakdown by models which can be incorporated into computer codes. The evolution and decay of the corona are described. Parameters which characterize these processes are defined. Where possible, their numerical values are stated. The evolution within the corona of streamers is discussed and some of their properties are described. (Author)
