  1. Modeling “lightning” using a charge gradient By Tom Ogasawara

  2. DLA “Lightning” • When lightning strikes, charged regions within the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through a flash. • The path the bolt follows is determined by the charge gradient of the atmosphere, among other factors. • Modeled using DLA and a randomly generated charge density gradient. • Massively over-simplified.

  3. Run using LightningDLA.m
