摘要
Monte Carlo simulation algorithms for electro-geometrical model are used in this work to solve the problem of complexity arising in the positioning of lightning rods on large buildings. Based on this algorithm, the probability distribution of lightning strikes on entire building structure is obtained and locations of higher lightning strike probability are determined. These spots are used to install lightning rods. The proposed work can be directly applied to protect any building structure. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
