Lightning interaction with the ionosphere
Marcos Rubinstein, Dongshuai Li
Lightning discharges, including cloud-to-ground (CG) and intracloud (IC) lightning, are known to emit electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) in a wide frequency band ranging from few Hz up to hundreds MHz [1]. During the breakdown and ionization processes (mostly f ...
IET2023Ionospheric Variations Induced by Thunderstorms in the Central Region of Argentina during the RELAMPAGO–CACTI Campaign
The ionosphere can be perturbed by solar and geomagnetic activity, earthquakes, thunderstorms, etc. In particular, electromagnetic pulses produced by thunderstorms can generate wave structures in the ionospheric plasma, which are known as atmospheric gravi ...
2023Interaction of lightning-generated electromagnetic fields with overhead and underground cables
Marcos Rubinstein, Carlo Alberto Nucci
In this chapter, we discussed the TL theory and its application to the problem of lightning electromagnetic field coupling to transmission lines. After a short discussion on the underlying assumptions of the TL theory, we described seemingly different but ...
IET2022A Prony-Based Approach for Accelerating the Lightning Electromagnetic Fields Computation: Effect of the Soil Finite Conductivity
This work provides an approach for speeding up the evaluation of lightning ElectroMagnetic (EM) fields in the case of a finite soil conductivity. The soil conductivity is taken into account through the well-known Cooray-Rubinstein (CR) approximation, which ...
2022Lightning-Induced Voltages on Overhead Distribution Lines Computed through Analytical Expressions for the Electromagnetic Fields
Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri
The evaluation of lightning ElectroMagnetic (EM) fields represents the most cumbersome part of the lightning-induced voltages computation process. Their evaluation is usually performed through a numerical routine or with simplified analytical expressions, ...
2021Analytical Expressions for Lightning Electromagnetic Fields With Arbitrary Channel-Base Current. Part II: Validation and Computational Performance
Marcos Rubinstein, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri
This article provides the implementation procedure, the validation, and some considerations on the computational efforts of the analytical expressions developed for the lightning electromagnetic fields presented in the companion paper. The validation is pr ...
2021On the Efficiency of OpenACC-aided GPU-Based FDTD Approach: Application to Lightning Electromagnetic Fields
Mohammad Azadifar, Hamidreza Karami
An open accelerator (OpenACC)-aided graphics processing unit (GPU)-based finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is presented for the first time for the 3D evaluation of lightning radiated electromagnetic fields along a complex terrain with arbitrary t ...
MDPI2020Field-to-transmission line coupling models
Marcos Rubinstein, Carlo Alberto Nucci
This chapter presents the coupling of lightning electromagnetic fields to overhead and underground lines based on the transmission line approximation. The chapter starts with an introductory section in which the advantages and the drawbacks of three approa ...
IET2020Assessing the Efficacy of a GPU-Based MW-FDTD Method for Calculating Lightning Electromagnetic Fields Over Large-Scale Terrains
Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Hamidreza Karami
This article presents for the first time an OpenACC (Open accelerators)-aided Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)-based approach adopting a 3D moving window finite difference time domain (MW-FDTD) method for calculating lightning electromagnetic fields over lar ...
2020On the Propagation of Lightning-Radiated Electromagnetic Fields Across a Mountain
Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Wenhao Hou, Qilin Zhang
In this article, the effect of a mountain located on the propagation path of lightning-radiated electromagnetic fields was systematically studied by using the two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method (2-D FDTD), considering the influence of the ...
