Simulation of the Discharge Path in Discharge Process from Thundercloud to Ground

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on fractal theory and WZ model of gas discharge, The spacial temporal behavior in discharge process from Thundercloud to Ground was simulated efficiently. Moreover, we discussed the probability index and the field intensity of the discharge path and their influence on the fractal dimension and the discharge path., and pointed out that the research should focus on the relation between the probability index and the fractal dimension.
