Abstract
The results of two-dimensional numerical simulations of single positiv e streamer development in atmospheric air in a uniform electric field superimposed on the nonuniform field of a spherical anode are presente d. It is shown that the form of the streamer channel and the rate of g rowth of the streamer velocity with its length are determined by the v alue of the applied field.
