About this document

Lightning Stroke Numerical Modeling by Elijah Norman is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document presents a traveling wave model for numerically modeling lightning strokes. It develops element equations using finite element methods to discretize the field region and models lightning as an electromagnetic wave propagating along the discharge channel. An implicit Newmark time integration algorithm is used to obtain recurrence formulas to solve for field variables at each time step. As an example, it models a capacitor formed by cloud and earth plates to simulate a lightning stroke and prese
