RT Journal Article ID 29fdd7556132857e A1 Nickolaenko, A. P. T1 FORGOTTEN MODEL OF LIGHTNING STROKE JF Telecommunications and Radio Engineering JO TRE YR 2010 FD 2010-10-06 VO 69 IS 12 SP 1093 OP 1102 K1 lightning discharge K1 current distribution K1 spectrum of the current moment AB We describe a model of lightning discharge, which was developed in the USSR by I.S. Stekolnikov in 1940s. The model is practically unknown among western specialists in the atmospheric electricity. The major parameters of the model are presented, the numerical modeling is performed, and its results are compared with the commonly used descriptions. We show that Stekolnikov’s model has some advantages and occupies a sound position among the modern engineering models of lightning strokes.
