Model for development of electric breakdown in liquids and stability analysis
PLASMA ASSISTED DECONTAMINATION OF BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL AGENTS

Abstract
A semi-numerical model is presented for the development of electric breakdown in liquids based on nanosecond time scale. In this model, breakdown starts in the pre-existed bubble at the tip of the electrode. Formation of plasma immediately makes the surface of the bubble charged to the potential of the electrode, and the imbalance between the electrostatic force and surface tension makes the bubble elongate at high speed. Numerical estimations made using this model are in good agreement with published experimental data. Linear analysis also shows that the instability of the Rayleigh-Taylor type develops in the plasma-gaseous channel surface points with high curvature.
