The transition avalanche to streamer are presented in atmospheric pressure nitrogen. The results of two-dimensional simulation are obtained by using finite Elements Method combined with Flux Corrected Transport algorithm(FEM-FCT). We modeled the negative streamer which enables to propagate with out and with photoionization. The results of simulation without photoionization and with photoionization are compared. We show that photoionization plays important roles not only in streamer formation but also in streamer propagation.
