Development of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasmas across a 3D‐microporous medium as a glass fibre fabric is introduced in this paper. The barrier plasma is produced on the high field blade‐to‐plate arrangement with the lateral air flow at atmospheric pressure as a background gas. A uniformly distributed production of discharges over the substrate surface is obtained by the generation of a high inhomogeneous field along the blade electrode. The redistribution of the field due to insertion of the microporous medium in the plasma region is also investigated. The simulation results showed that the microdischarge develops in cavity of the roving as a streamer. Electron density decays due to the rising impact on the wall of orifice. The field shift in the neighbour cells causes avalanche‐like plasma ignition through the roving during the DBD development.
