Abstract
In dielectric breakdown, the phenomena of streamers formation and spontaneous branching is commonly observed. A deterministic negative streamer model is reviewed in this article. We recently have proposed that this reduced model is able to explain the branching phenomena, due to a Laplacian instability quite like in viscous fingering. Particular attention is paid to the physical interpretation of the model.
