ملخص البحث

In this paper, the effect of wind on positive corona behavior up to breakdown is studied for point-plane gaps when the wind is flowing axially (against or parallel to the direction of ion convection from the point to the plane). The repetition rate of streamer pulses and its randomness as influenced by wind has been determined for different applied voltages. The spatial distribution of the current density over the ground plane has been examined for different applied voltages in still air and with wind blowing in the axial and transverse directions. The time-averaged value of wind-blown corona current as a function of the applied voltage was also determined. The results obtained are correlated with previous findings and with the theories of corona discharges.
