FDTD Modeling of Lightning Electromagnetic Field Propagation Over Mountainous Terrain

Marcos Rubinstein, Dongshuai Li

The Full-Wave Finite-Difference-Time-Domain (FDTD) electromagnetic (EM) simulation method can simulate large domains and produce time-marching solutions for arbitrary time-domain sources, making it ideal for many lightning applications. In this paper, a tw ...

Analysis of lightning electromagnetic field propagation in mountainous terrain and its effects on ToA-based lightning location systems

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Zhaoyang Wang, Keyhan Sheshyekani, Dongshuai Li, Qilin Zhang

In this paper, we analyze the propagation effects on lightning-radiated electromagnetic fields over mountainous terrain by using a three-dimensional (3-D) finite difference time domain (FDTD) method. We also discuss the time delay error in the time-of-arri ...

Effects of nearby buildings on lightning induced voltages on overhead power distribution lines

Mario Paolone, Carlo Alberto Nucci

For the case of urban overhead lines, the presence of nearby buildings is expected to affect the overvoltages induced by nearby cloud-to-ground lightning return strokes. So far, this effect has been seldom taken into account in the literature on the subjec ...
