Self-organization refers to the spontaneous generation of spatially or temporally organized patterns in an otherwise disordered system. Self-organization is ubiquitous in plasma physics particularly in the low-pressure regime as observed in astrophysical jets or plasma loaded flux loops that form on the surface of the Sun. In recent times, self-organization in atmospheric pressure plasmas has captured the attention of researchers. Its occurrence has been observed in DBD discharges as well as DC 1 atm glows with liquid electrodes. The mechanism of pattern formation is still not well understood. In this work, we briefly review the current understanding of pattern formation in DC glows with liquid anode, surveying past work, application areas, theories on mechanisms of formation from the context of reaction diffusion systems, current experimental work and computational progress towards predicting pattern formation.
