Lightning discharges between charged clouds and the Earth’s surface are responsible for considerable damages and casualties. It is therefore important to develop better protection methods in addition to the traditional Franklin rod. Here we present the fir ...
Recent advances on low-dimensional and topological materials has greatly inspired the research in condensed matter physics. This thesis is devoted to the computational and theoretical study of topological effects in two-dimensional materials, especially na ...
In this paper, the developed formulation, which we shall call the “reference” one, is used to assess the validity of the most popular simplified approach for the calculation of the lightning electromagnetic field over a conducting earth, namely, the Cooray ...
In this paper, we propose a method based on genetic algorithms to extract primary lightning return stroke current parameters from currents measured using instrumented towers, including the possibility of contamination by multiple reflections occuring along ...
"Numerical simulations of freely decaying isotropic fluid turbulence were performed at various Mach numbers (from 0.2 to 1.0) using known shock-capturing Euler schemes (Jameson, TVD-MUSCL, ENO) often employed for aeronautical applications. The objective of ...
