Overview
Spark Discharge is a first-of-its-kind text, providing a comprehensive and systematic description of the spark breakdown of long gas gaps. It discusses the nature of a long spark, physical peculiarities of relevant gas discharge processes, methods and results of experimental studies, and analytical and numerical models. The most important applications in high-voltage engineering are covered in a single volume.
The straightforward presentation of complicated materials, the deep insight into the nature of the processes, and the simplified mathematical descriptions of the phenomena, make Spark Discharge an excellent textbook for students and an indispensable reference for researchers, physicists, and engineers.

Booknews
Systematically describes the spark breakdown of long gas gaps. Unlike most of the literature on the subject addresses not only professional engineers and research physicists, but also undergraduate and graduate students and professionals in related fields. Discusses the nature of a long spark, physical peculiarities of relevant gas discharge processes, methods and results of experimental studies, and analytical and numerical models. Also presents physically substantiated methods for solving problems in high-voltage engineering and lighting. Defers coverage of the return stroke, the principle cause of the destructive action of lightning, to another volume. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
