A model for the evaluation of the electric field associated with the lightning-triggering rocket wire and its corona

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Aleksandr Smorgonskii

In this paper, we analyze the electric field at ground level during the first stage of triggered lightning experiments, i.e., during the rocket ascent and prior to the lightning initiation. At distances of some tens of meters from the triggering wire, the ...

Analysis of Electromagnetic Fields Inside a Reinforced Concrete Building With Layered Reinforcing Bar due to Direct and Indirect Lightning Strikes Using the FDTD Method

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Akiyoshi Tatematsu

Lightning electromagnetic pulse (LEMP) is a severe threat to sensitive electronic devices installed in buildings. To protect these devices from LEMP effects, the evaluation of the electromagnetic fields inside of the building is required. Although numerous ...

An Update on Experimental Data Obtained at the Santis Tower

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Davide Pavanello, Mario Paolone, Mohammad Azadifar

The Santis Tower was instrumented in May 2010 and, to this date, more than 400 flashes were successfully recorded. Lightning current waveforms and their time-derivatives are measured at two different heights along the tower (24-m and 82-m AGL). In this pap ...

An analysis of the initiation of upward flashes from tall towers with particular reference to Gaisberg and Säntis Towers

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Aleksandr Smorgonskii, Alaleh Tajalli

In this paper, we present an analysis of the lightning events preceding initiation of upward lightning flashes from the Gaisberg and the Santis Towers. It is found that the majority of upward lightning discharges from both towers are initiated without any ...
