On the use of the vertical straight wire model in electromagnetics and related boundary element solution

Abstract

The paper deals with an analysis of various EMC problems related to radiation and scattering from wires using a vertical straight wire model based on the corresponding Pocklington integro-differential equation. The rigorous solution of the Pocklington type equation is undertaken via the Galerkin–Bubnov Indirect Boundary Element Method (GB-IBEM). Many illustrative computational examples presented throughout the paper are related to dipole antenna above a lossy half-space, metal rods penetrating the ground, lightning channel and vertical grounding electrode. Obtained numerical results are somewhere compared to NEC or analytical results, respectively.
