A study of the lightning channel corona sheath
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] Dynamics of lightning channel corona sheath surrounding thin channel core is examined on the basis of three transmission-line-type models of the return stroke that specify different attenuation of longitudinal current with height. The corona sheath conductivity is estimated using measured radial electric field in the immediate vicinity of the lightning channel and measured channel base current. The corona sheath radius, velocity of corona sheath radial expansion, and corona current are examined using a multiexponential approximation of the lightning channel base current waveform. Additionally, energy dissipated in the corona sheath is estimated and compared to that dissipated in the channel core.

Time domain simulations of preliminary breakdown pulses in natural lightning
Lightning discharge is a complicated process with relevant physical scales spanning many orders of magnitude. In an effort to understand the electrodynamics of lightning and connect physical properties of the channel to observed behavior, we construct a simulation of charge and current flow on a narrow conducting channel embedded in three-dimensional space with the time domain electric field in...
