摘要: The physical reason for the small-scale tortuosity observed in sparks and lightning channels is unknown at present. In this paper, it suggested that of discharge caused by natural tendency subsequent leader streamer bursts to avoid each other but same time align as much possible along direction background electric field. This process will give rise a channel re-orients space during burst creating small scale tortuosity.
