Scrape-off-layer current loops and floating potential in limited tokamak plasmas

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Paola Paruta, Federico David Halpern

We investigate the question of how plasma currents circulate and close in the scrape-off-layer (SOL) of convection-limited tokamak plasmas. A simplified two-fluid model describes how currents must evacuate charge at the sheaths due to cross-field currents ...

Locating transient disturbance sources and modelling their interaction with transmission lines

Gaspard Lugrin

This thesis deals with the application of electromagnetic time reversal to locating transient disturbance sources and the use of the asymptotic theory for the modelling of their interaction with transmission lines. We demonstrate that the time-of-arrival, ...

Lightning Electromagnetic Fields and Their Induced Currents on Buried Cables. Part II: The Effect of a Horizontally Stratified Ground

Mario Paolone, Keyhan Sheshyekani

We use a finite element method (FEM) to evaluate the effect of a horizontally stratified two-layer ground on underground lightning electromagnetic fields and their induced currents on the shield of buried cables. It is shown that the azimuthal component of ...

Electromagnetic Environment Associated with Lightning Strikes to Tall Strike Objects

Seyed Abbas Mosaddeghi

The study of the lightning interaction with tall strike objects has attracted considerable attention of lightning researchers lately. Many lightning measurements including current and associated electromagnetic fields were recently made all over the globe ...

A micromachined earth sensor based on measuring the gravity gradient torque

Herbert Shea, Kaustav Ghose

We present the fabrication and testing of a novel MEMS inertial sensor that directly measures the gravity gradient in low Earth orbit in order to sense the relative orientation of a satellite with respect to the Earth. Instead of the current Earth sensing ...

Lightning induced disturbances in buried cables - Part II: Experiment and model validation

Mario Paolone, Emanuel Petrache

This paper presents experimental results obtained at the International Center for Lightning Research and Testing (ICLRT) at Camp Blanding, Florida during the smnmers of 2002 and 2003. Currents induced by triggered and natural lightning events were measured ...

Use of genetic algorithms to extract primary lightning current parameters

José-Luis Bermudez

In this paper, we propose a method based on genetic algorithms to extract primary lightning return stroke current parameters from currents measured using instrumented towers, including the possibility of contamination by multiple reflections occuring along ...
