Thermodynamic and Electric Properties of a Lightning Arc Channel During Its Continuous Current Phase When the Lightning Strikes an Aircraft in Flight

Asymmetry Effects in the Numerical Simulation of Supersonic Flows With Upstream Separated Regions

The present paper studies the numerical simulation of flows with shock/boundary-layer upstream interaction, under conditions of symmetry in geometry, boundary conditions, and grid. For this purpose, a series of two- and three-dimensional numerical test-cases were carried out. The tests showed that standard numerical schemes, which appear to be symmetry-preserving under...
