Abstract
A negative corona in air is numerically simulated for the coaxial cylindrical geometry of electrodes. The goal of the investigation is to gain insight into physical processes and physical conditions in the gap that favor the corona-arc transition. An experiment aimed at contrasting calculated and real characteristics is described.
