Streamer Criterion: Post processing results

General

After a computation using the “Streamer criterion” tool, it is possible to postprocess different results:

  • Graphic
  • Streamer results
  • Complete results

Graphic

At the end of a computation, are displayed:

  • The Streamer having the highest probability to start (maximum K) represented by a red arrow with the direction of ionization canal propagation
  • The Streamers which can breakdown in black (having K higher than the threshold for the project potential difference)*

The following checked icons correspond to Streamers selection and display icons:

Here is the Streamers display in the graphic, for a global computation between two spheres:

Note: *if the option “Streamers display mode” of the “results” tab is not changed

Streamer results

By editing the Streamer having the highest probability to start, the following results appear:

Note: it is possible to launch a new “Streamer criterion” computation of one or several Streamers displayed on the graphic, by clicking directly on the command “compute Streamer inception voltage” of the Streamers contextual menu.

Complete results

User has the possibility to store Flux results.

For that, the “results storage” option must be checked in the “results” tab (see the image below).

It allows storing:

  • The results of the Streamer having the highest breakdown probability (same results as those displayed by graphical Streamer edition)
  • The spatial path associated to the Streamer having the highest probability to start
  • The curves:
    • Reduced field depending on the position on the Streamer path
    • αeff depending on the position on the Streamer path for the project potential difference
    • αeff depending on the position on the Streamer path for the Streamer inception voltage (the integrale of this curve must be equal to 18 with an error until K precision)
