The numerical simulations of negative corona discharge in Trichel pulse mode are carried out with the calculation of evolution of azimuthal perturbations. It is found the azimuthal instability with increment corresponding to avalanche development. This instability is suppressed at the nonlinear stage and does not lead to the process branching. The result is also applicable to the azimuthal instability of the cathode directed streamer, found earlier. The difference in their increments is followed from the difference in courses of the processess, which is discuss.

Abstract The paper presents a 2D multi-fluid non-stationary model of a negative corona discharge in atmospheric-pressure air in the needle-to-plane diode. Discharges were simulated in gaps up to 1 cm with an applied voltage in the range of 8-100 kV. The simulation results demonstrate two stages of the discharge evolution: a pulsed-periodic stage called the Trichel pulses mode and a stationary glow discharge mode. The spatio-temporal distributions of the discharge plasma and electric field are shown in detail. Physical mechanism of Trichel pulses formation and transition to the stationary discharge are also revealed. The duration of the Trichel pulse mode gradually decreases with increasing of the applied voltage.

Point-to-plane corona discharge is widely used for modifying polymer surfaces for biomedical applications and for sterilization and decontamination. This paper focuses on an experimental investigation of the influence of the single-point and multi-point corona discharge electric field on gel surface. Three types of gelatinous agar were used as the gel medium: blood agar, nutrient agar and Endo agar. The gel surface modification was studied for various time periods and discharge currents.
