Simplifications often made when simulating the dispersion of lightning current can yield results that depart too much from the complex reality of a direct lightning flash to a building. The unpredictable occurrence of side-flashes increases even more the complexity. Such simulations, if taken at face value, might lead to unrealistic specifications for serviceentrance surge-protective devices (S...

! ABSTRACT —;> Lightning protection of modern aerospace vehicles must prohibit sparking in critical fuel vapor areas. In the past, it has been particularly difficult to keep mechanical fasteners from sparking during a lightning event. Attempts to seal off the fasteners from the critical fuel vapor area by manual application of sealant material have proven to be ineffective due to gaps and voids...

Abstract In recent years, because climate change is a major issue related to human survival and sustainable development, the global warming glaciers are melting, so country has been advocating “green environmental protection, low-carbon life”. To achieve this goal, China constantly looking for green energy. However, in thunderstorm weather, wind turbines more likely be attacked by lightning. Ev...
