Numerical simulation of nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges in air at atmospheric pressure : Application to plasma-assisted combustion

In this Ph.D. thesis, we have carried out numerical simulations to study nanosecond repetitively pulsed discharges (NRPD) in a point-to-point geometry at atmospheric pressure in air and in H2-air mixtures. Experimentally, three discharge regimes have been observed for NRPD in air at atmospheric pres...
