TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a formulation of computationally efficient models of photoionization produced by non-thermal gas discharges in air based on three-group Eddington and improved Eddingham (SP3) approximations to the radiative transfer equation, and on effective representation of the classic integral model for photoionisation in air developed by Zheleznyak et al. by a set of three Helmholtz differential equations.

TL;DR: In this article, an experimental study of the efficiency of the ignition of propane-air mixtures by a high voltage repetitively pulsed nanosecond gas discharge (10 kV, 10 ns, 30 kHz) is presented for the pressure range 0.35-2.0 bar.

TL;DR: In this article, a collisional-radiative model is developed, accounting for thermal nonequilibrium between the translational energy mode of the gas and the vibrational energy modes of individual molecules.

TL;DR: A nonlinear time-dependent collisional-radiative model for recombining argon and the influence of the processes involving Ar(2)+ on the excitation temperature is discussed and the importance of the increase of the quasi-steady-state time is illustrated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a combined 2D numerical and experimental study of the influence of N 2 admixture on the dynamics of a He-N 2 discharge in the 10 cm long dielectric tube of a plasma gun setup is carried out.
