On Lightning Electromagnetic Field Propagation Along an Irregular Terrain

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Zhaoyang Wang, Stefan Metz, Davide Pavanello, Dongshuai Li, Qilin Zhang

In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of the propagation effects of lightning electromagnetic fields over a mountainous terrain. The analysis is supported by experimental observations consisting of simultaneous records of lightning currents and ...

On the adequacy of standardized lightning current waveform for composite structures for aircraft and wind turbine blades

Marcos Rubinstein, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Aleksandr Smorgonskii

The standard lightning waveforms used for the testing of aircraft are based on downward lightning. However, there is evidence suggesting that lightning to aircraft is different from negative downward lightning. Also, carbon fiber composite materials are be ...

The Influence of the Slope Angle of the Ocean–Land Mixed Propagation Path on the Lightning Electromagnetic Fields

Keyhan Sheshyekani, Dongshuai Li

In this paper, lightning electromagnetic fields in the presence of an ocean-land mixed propagation path having different configurations are evaluated using a finite-element-based full-wave approach. The simulations are conducted considering lightning strik ...

On the Location of Lightning Discharges Using Time Reversal of Electromagnetic Fields

Marcos Rubinstein, Nicolas Mora Parra, Gaspard Lugrin

In this paper, we discuss the use of the electromagnetic time reversal (EMTR) method to locate lightning strikes. After a brief description of the EMTR and its application to lightning location, we mathematically demonstrate that the time-of-arrival method ...

A Comparison of Frequency-Dependent Soil Models: Application to the Analysis of Grounding Systems

Nicolas Mora Parra, Damir Cavka

We present a review and comparison of different models representing the frequency dependence of the soil electrical parameters (conductivity and permittivity). These models are expressed in terms of curve-fit expressions for the soil conductivity and relat ...

H-mode access during plasma current ramp-up in TCV

Yves Martin, Ivo Furno, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Roland Behn

A recent TCV experiment has investigated the dependence of the LH transition threshold power on the plasma current ramp-rate and the X-point height above the divertor target, which both have previously been seen to affect the transition behaviour. Systema ...

Statistical Distributions of Lightning Currents Associated With Upward Negative Flashes Based on the Data Collected at the Säntis Tower in 2010 and 2011

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Carlos Alberto Romero Romero

This paper presents statistical distributions of lightning current parameters based on the lightning current and current-derivative waveforms measured at the Säntis Tower site in 2010 and 2011. The total number of flashes analyzed in this study was 167, wh ...

On the proportion of upward flashes to lightning research towers

Marcos Rubinstein, Wolfgang Schulz

We compare in this paper direct measurements obtained on the towers on San Salvatore Mountain (Switzerland) and on the Gaisberg Mountain (Austria). They are situated in similar topographical environments but in different lightning activity zones. Direct me ...

A Review of HEMP Activities in Europe (1970-1995)

Michel Ianoz

This paper presents a review of the high altitude EMP (HEMP) activities in European countries between 1970 and 1995. HEMP simulators built in different countries are presented together with measurements performed under them and calculation methods develope ...

A system for the measurements of lightning currents at the Säntis Tower

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Wolfgang Schulz, Pierre Zweiacker, Abraham Rubinstein

The paper presents the characteristics of a system suitably developed to measure lightning current waveforms on the Santis Tower in Switzerland. The paper first describes the configuration of the system then presents the characteristics of the measurement ...
