The natural phenomenon of thunderstorm activity is one of many causes of a forest fire. Thunderstorms cause especially intensive fire danger situations within remote areas and highlands. As a rule, a cloud-to-ground lightning discharge is the fire source. The present study is based on the research results of electrical overloads in supply networks. Physical and mathematical formulation and numerical solution for the problem of a coniferous tree (pine) ignited by a cloud-to-ground lightning discharge are presented. The problem is considered in a cylindrical coordinate system in two-dimensional formulation. The features of current passage and heat transfer taking into account the reactive wood localization are investigated. The Joule-Lenz’s law is used to calculate heat production in a tree trunk. Parametric analysis has been conducted and tree trunk ignition conditions have been determined in a typical range for the influencing parameters of negative and positive discharges.

Physical and mathematical statement and results of the numerical simulation of a problem about deciduous tree (birch) ignition by ground lightning discharge are presented. The problem is considered in flat statement in cylindrical system of coordinates. Heat transfer features taking into account localization of reactive wood are considered. The parametrical analysis is carried out and conditions of tree trunk ignition in a typical range of parameters of influence of positive discharges are obtained

We implemented a systemic scientific approach to thermal vacuum development of spacecraft, which integrates the problems of thermal calculations, thermal vacuum tests and accuracy evaluation for mathematical models of heat transfer by means of solving identification problems. As a result, the following factors increase the efficiency of spacecraft ground testing: reducing the duration of thermal vacuum tests, making autonomous thermal vacuum testing of components possible, increasing the accuracy of thermal calculations
