This hasn’t been discussed in the forum yet, only the other way round: Why is the outer electrode made out of rods? Old-day DPFs had a hollow cylinder as outer electrode, modern DPFs have those rods. It helps forming of the filaments (if I remember correctly).
Maybe a sawtooth shaped inner electrode would help guiding those filaments? Maybe not. Maybe they break if guided too tightly.
