This paper presents a numerical model of High Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps including the acoustic streaming. The model is implemented in COMSOL and based on the finite elements method using a 2D axi-symmetric geometry. Moreover, a revision concerning AR experimental characterizations of HPS lamps will also be provided. The results presented in this paper will contribute to the understanding of AR phenomena and help in the electronic ballast design methods for AR avoidance.
