This article presents a model of a tortuous lightning channel, and a study of the consequent electromagnetic coupling to a transmission line. We analyse the fractal dimension of the induced current on the line, compared with the fractal dimension of the lightning channel and the impinging electromagnetic field on the line. This comparison confirms our previous studies pointing out that the channel fractal dimension and the electromagnetic field fractal dimension are related (in particular, for typical lightning parameters they are the same). A comparison of simulated fields and line currents with experimental measurements is also attempted

Abstract

This article presents a model of a tortuous lightning channel, and a study of the consequent electromagnetic coupling to a transmission line. We analyse the fractal dimension of the induced current on the line, compared with the fractal dimension of the lightning channel and the impinging electromagnetic field on the line. This comparison confirms our previous studies pointing out that the channel fractal dimension and the electromagnetic field fractal dimension are related (in particular, for typical lightning parameters they are the same). A comparison of simulated fields and line currents with experimental measurements is also attempted
