| description | For investigating the relationship between the surface corona discharge of a DC wire and other influencing factors, a hybrid numerical model based on a fluid-chemical reaction was proposed to simulate the discharge process at the tip defect of the wire. Under different defect geometries and gas pressures achieved via simulation, the microscopic process of the reaction and movement of electrons and heavy particles during a positive corona discharge was studied, and characteristic parameters such as corona inception voltage and discharge current were analyzed. Furthermore, through the corona cage test, for a specific electrode configuration, corona inception voltages under different pressures were compared and verified, which showed that the model was reasonable. The results showed that the maximum electron density of the streamer head was about 1 × 10<sup>20</sup> m<sup>−3</sup>, the rise time of the pulse current was about 10 ns, and the decay time was about 300–500 ns. The corona inception voltage decreased with an increase in the tip height and decreases in the tip curvature radius, conductor radius, and background air pressure; the amplitude of the pulse current increased with increases in the wire radius and curvature radius of the defect tip and decreases in tip height and background air pressure. The experimental results are consistent with the simulation results, which verifies the reasonability of the model. |
