Abstract

In this paper, a new three-dimensional optimized reconstruction of a spark discharge is proposed. A Discharge process is analyzed in gas atmosphere for two different electrodes. New tools employed to characterize the electrical insulation increase the knowledge about the physical phenomena involved in the development of electrical discharge processes. This work reports the progress of a 3D reconstruction of a spark discharge. The reconstruction is based on a mesh method called Simplex. After simplex mesh reconstruction, a mesh optimization is applied to reduce the number of polygons of the polyhedron, taking into account the gradient across the channel. The 3D optimized reconstruction takes into account the orthogonal projections of images taken by two digital cameras. Such reconstruction is done with a point-plane electrode system, with distance between 3mm and 30 mm. Negative pulse voltage from 40 kV up to 70 kV was applied to the point electrode. Atmospheric air was used as electrical insulator.
