Streamer modeling



Original poster: Terry Fritz <teslalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi All,

I had a chance to look through the book "Spark Discharge" and it appears they have things pretty much figured out!! They come up with most of the same numbers we do and add some wonderful things like "optimal rise time" :-)))) 111uS for a 2 meter streamer ;-))

They get about 1.9pF/foot for streamer capacitance which is pretty close to our "average" number taking various factors (slow resonant rise) into account. It is pretty straight forward adding a dynamic model to ScanTesla...

They have some pretty good math behind their numbers but they obviously really "checked it" too ;-))

The book is actually worth $130! It is from CRC Press too (which apparently has presses made of gold, diamond, and platinum....) so it is cheap for their books!

I will do some test (or maybe E-Tesla can do it) to better lock down the numbers for our case and see if I can get it into ScanTesla...

Stay tuned...

Cheers,

	Terry
