Download or read book Lightning Electromagnetics written by Vernon Cooray and published by IET. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 975 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the theory, mathematics and computational tools that are necessary to model each and every one of the processes associated with lightning discharges. This is essential information for a newcomer to the subject as well as for experienced scientists working in this field. Indeed, it is only through exercising various models and mathematical simulations that one can understand the basics mechanisms associated with the generation and interactions of the electric and magnetic fields of thunderclouds and lightning. This book would appeal to undergraduate and post graduate Physics and Engineering Students, Lightning Protection and EMC Engineers and those working within the areas of Electrical Engineering, Computer engineering and Physics. This book provides the rules and computations procedures to bridge this physical understanding with high level computational procedures to model each and every electromagnetic process, whether static or dynamic, and their effects and interactions. This book makes it possible for the reader to apply the knowledge gained from these books such as The Lightning Flash, IET 2003 and Lightning Protection, IET 2010 and obtain first hand experience through simulations on the processes generating the electromagnetic field of thunderclouds and lightning flashes and the effects of these electromagnetic fields. They will also experience how the results described in these books will emerge when Maxwell's equations are combined with basic laws conservation laws of nature and physics of electrical discharges. Uniquely, the information provided in this book is not limited to lightning scientists and lightning protection engineers alone. The procedures used to study the interaction of lightning electromagnetic fields with structures, power lines and telecommunication systems can also be used to study the interaction of the said components with electromagnetic fields generated by any radio transmitter.
Download or read book An Introduction to Lightning written by Vernon Cooray and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book about lightning summarizes the essence of physics and effects of lightning in a non-technical manner and provides an up-to-date description of the phenomenon of lightning in simple language. Starting with the myths related to lightning, the reader is introduced to the mechanism of lightning flashes and their interactions with humans, human-made systems and Earth’s environment. Most of the available books on lightning are written for the experts in the field and there is a need for a book that introduces the undergraduate and beginning post graduate students to the subject of lightning and prepares them for more advanced books meant for the experts. This introductory book, which is based on a series of lectures given to undergraduate and postgraduate students in electrical engineering, is intended to fill this need. Tailored to the needs of university students who plan to study electrical engineering, meteorology, environmental or basic physics, it is also a valuable reference resource for laymen who are interested in knowing more on this phenomenon.

Download or read book Flashes of Brilliance written by Ronald L. Holle and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive resource on lightning and describes the unique roles which the state of Arizona has with regard to lightning. Not only is it spectacular, it is also admired, feared, and misunderstood, but its knowledge has come of age in the last two decades. This book describes why Arizona can be called the “Lightning Photography Capital of the U.S.”, how the general public and Native Americans in Arizona have viewed lightning, and when and where lightning occurs and impacts people and resources in Arizona. It contains summaries of interviews with current and former University of Arizona staff who invented real-time lightning detection in the late 1970s and how subsequent lightning research in Arizona has been globally significant. The authors are very well acquainted with and up to date on these topics. The style of this book is active and somewhat scholarly but readable by the nonprofessional with a general interest in lightning. What is lightning? How does lightning affect Arizona? Why do photographers come to Arizona for lightning photographs? What is unique about Arizona lightning? How is lightning detected in Arizona and around the world? This book tells you answers to these questions. This book is intended for a broad audience comprised of visitors, interested lay public, a variety of scientific disciplines, media, medicine, lightning safety, and fire weather. It is suitable for readers desiring a general overview of lightning, especially in Arizona, but also for those who want to know specifically about the topic.

Download or read book Flashes Sparks and Shorts written by Paul John Hausleben and published by God Bless the Keg Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2024-03-04 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be careful! Watch your eyes! The Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts are back! And so is the Master Storyteller, Mr. Paul John Hausleben! Flash Fiction and more! A follow-up to Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts: Flash One and Flash Two! Flash Three is the third book in the flash series and the fourth book in the series “Flash Fiction, Thoughts, Essays, and Short Stories” by Mr. Paul John Hausleben. In Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts: Flash Three, the author combines flash fiction with his random thoughts of life and then includes two short stories to create a classic collection in the series. Flash Three contains some of the author’s most poignant work, with the much-heralded flash fiction piece “A Few Beers with Jesus” and other classic flash fiction work. There are also two brand-new short stories that are sure to be classics within the author’s astounding collection of classic short stories. Once more, as was the case in the previous books in the series, this collection covers many diverse subjects between the two covers; such as humor, fantasy, real-life, passion, pain, and emotions, with a special emphasis in this book on religion and more than a touch of romance, too. As the author mentions in his notes, “In this third series in the PJH-authored books of flash fiction, I ventured off into many stories with very heavy religious overtones. I am not exactly sure why, other than it was just my mood at the time that I wrote them.” Yet, the religious and romantic stories in this collection are not heavy or forced, or preached to the reader. Instead, it is typical of the author’s other work that touches upon religion; genuine and laced with amazing storytelling. Will there be a fourth book in the series? The author sure hints that there will be! Stay tuned! This is another intriguing collection of thoughts, short stories, flash fiction, and general meanderings in this very popular series, all of which highlight and demonstrate the author’s exceptional skills at writing shorter stories and flash fiction pieces. As did the other books in the series, Flashes, Sparks, and Shorts, Flash Three will capture the hearts and minds of faithful followers of Mr. Hausleben’s previous work, and new readers that first experience the magical storytelling abilities of Mr. Paul John Hausleben.
