Boundary element modeling of horizontal grounding electrodes using the set of generalized telegrapher's equations

摘要

The analysis of a horizontal grounding electrode has been carried out using the set of generalized telegrapher's equations. The integro-differential relationships arising from the full wave model are numerically handled via the Galerkin-Bubnov scheme of the Indirect Boundary Element Method (GB-IBEM). Some illustrative numerical results for the current and voltage induced along the horizontal electrode are given in the paper.
