Abstract
The current of the barrier discharge usually contains many pulse currents. These pulse currents are due to occurrence of the many micro discharges, which are observed as filamentary micro discharges. However, the atmospheric pressure glow discharge or the atmospheric pressure Townsend discharge does not contain such pulse currents, and the discharges are homogeneous. We have been developing an electric circuit simulation method of the filamentary barrier discharge. Here we improved the simulation program so as to be a more realistic one, and also we extended the simulation program to a new one which is also available to the atmospheric pressure glow and the Townsend discharges. The electric circuit simulation models are introduced in this paper, together with the examples of current and voltage on the three types of barrier discharge modes.
