Characteristic analysis and test evaluation of ship lightning effect

Lightning poses a serious hazard to ships navigating on the sea. Due to the large scale and complex structure of the platform, the lightning effect and experiment of the platform are special and complex. In order to obtain lightning strike attachment characteristics, attachment probability and electromagnetic environment in different areas of warship, the total differential lightning attachment analysis method based on zoning and layering was used to modify the additional areas and zoning of lightning attachment on warship. The characteristics of lightning strike attachment effect, lightning attachment probability and electromagnetic field strength on the whole surface of warship platform in different directions were obtained by simulation. Using lightning scaling model test of warship, the test validation and comparative analysis are carried out to verify the accuracy of the method and data, and to provide technical support for the protection and test of warship in lightning strong electromagnetic environment.
