Abstract

The experimental investigation of atmospheric pressure streamer discharges on the water surface at two different polarities of voltage at the high-voltage electrode revealed several noteworthy findings. The discharge structure was photoregistered and subjected to statistical analysis. The results demonstrated that the discharges possess a complex structure comprising numerous branching channels. It was determined that the number of branching channels in discharges of negative polarity is approximately six times higher than the number of branching channels of positive polarity. Conversely, the mean branching angle of positive discharges is greater than that of negative polarity discharges. No branching angles exceeding 90° were observed, nor were any instances of intersection between different branches identified.
