Numerical simulation of lightning channel reactivation in recoil leader process
Atmospheric Research. 2025. Vol. 323. Article 108187.
Lightning development involves transient events that produce non-stationary, abrupt changes in lightning structure. The most prominent (and most studied) examples of reactivation of lightning side branches are recoil leaders that are initiated near the tips of previously decayed positive leader channels. This study proposes a numerical model that, among other things, takes into account evolution of channel temperature profile and is aimed at simulation the recoil leader inception. The model is based on the paradigm of reversal point meandering, which is a consequence of the macroscale asymmetry of development of positive and negative lightning poles. Simulation results allow one for the first time to formulate a physically-based and well-founded mechanism of a negative recoil leader initiation. In particular, it is shown that the channel reactivation is pro vided by the wave of electric field that starts from the branching point and propagates along a previously decayed (but still heated) leader channel when its per-unit-length resistance does not exceed several thousand Ohms per meter. This resistance corresponds to the channel temperature no less than ∼3500 K under equilibrium conditions. It is shown that channel reactivation starts somewhere between the branching point and the previ ously decayed leader tip, in agreement with observations. Additionally, the plasma chemical aspects of the leader channel reactivation are discussed.

Numerous studies have provided compelling evidence that the probability distribution of avalanche sizes follows a power law, and that 1/f noise is present in the stochastic dynamics of landslides. We present a theoretical explanation of these phenomena within the framework of self-organized criticality theory, proposing a discrete-time model in the form of a sandpile cellular ...

A discrete-time model is presented for the self-organization of the X/Twitter social network to the edge of a phase transition, characterized by avalanche-like propagation of information in the network. The model is based on the analogy between the critical dynamics of the X social network and sandpile cellular automata with Manna rule on the Chung-Lu ...

Superconducting properties of metallic micro- and nanowires can be entirely different from those of bulk superconductors. Of particular interest is the nonequilibrium current-induced state of a quasi-one-dimensional superconducting channel. The most interesting phenomenon here is the stepped I–V characteristic, explained by a process known as phase slip center activation. If the origin of such step-like ...

Machine learning (ML) has become a powerful tool for accelerating the development of carbon-based supercapacitors;
however, most published models assume that a single predictive framework can describe both conventional
porous carbons and hybrid carbon electrodes. Here, we test this assumption using a comprehensive
benchmark dataset and an extended literature-curated dataset enriched with synthesis- and electrolyte-related
descriptors. Three ML algorithms ...

This paper compares the ranging precision of direct time-of-flight (dToF) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) LiDAR architectures, both using a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). Both systems operate at 1550 nm with a 50 ps pulsed laser and time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC). The dToF configuration achieved approximately 100 µm precision at 10 m, while the NLOS configuration achieved 500 µm precision for ...
