A new method using dielectric-coated sphere-ring electrode was put forward to generate multiple
radial streamer discharges in tap water by applying a pulse voltage. Different from the previous methods by means of extremely high electric strength
this kind of electrode configuration enables to generate large volume streamer discharges in water easily under lower voltage. The effect of the pulse parameters
such as pulse amplitude and pulse width
on streamer channels length is investigated
and the influence mechanism of the coated-dielectric on the streamer initiation and propagation is discussed. The results demonstrate that with the increment of applied pulse amplitude and pulse width
the maximum length and the number of origin points of the streamer increase. The streamer discharges in water originate from the appearance of micro bubbles formed by the intensified electric field and the partial discharges in the dielectric coating.
