The calculation of the striking distance can estimate the probability of lightning strike on a
structure and thereby evaluate the effectiveness of a lightning protection system (LPS). The …

This paper describes the first measurements of lightning currents from upward lightning
events to a tall tower–the Sentech Tower–in Johannesburg, South Africa. The lightning …

A dynamic model for exposure of grounded objects to direct lightning strokes has been
generalized to apply to buildings and massive structures. The model also applies to the …

The problems related to electromagnetic waves transmitted by lightning strikes can be
studied through physical lightning models based on laboratory results. The main concern of …

This paper presents the research of three dimensional exterior boundary problems related to
electric fields in atmosphere. The research is done by the inversion method. This method is …

The dynamic electro-geometrical model has been applied in various studies to investigate
the probability of a lightning strike to parts of a structure. The numerical computation of the …

In this paper effort has been made for improvement of the design of Lightning Protection
Systems (LPS) for Airport Traffic Control Towers (ATCT) in Greece. The improvement was …

This paper presents the features of numerical solution of electrostatic field for studying
objects. Steel transmission towers are investigated in applied modeling scheme “cloud-earth …

An important consideration in the design of any air termination system is the maximum
distance at which the terminations can be placed from the “vulnerable points” on structures …

The annual number of injuries and fatalities from lightning has, over the last century, been
on a steady decline. This is primarily due to urbanisation and movement away from …
