Abstract
Results of the application of flux-corrected transport techniques to a two-dimensional numerical simulation of streamer propagation are presented. Characteristics such as diameter, velocity, shape, and density gradient of the head, and ionization in the body of the propagating streamer are determined. These results provide new insight into streamer propagation.Keywords
