This paper addressed the lightning-induced electromagnetic field issue. The relationship between Uman’s formulas and Jefimenko’s equation is derived. Unlike Uman’s formulas requiring only the pre-given current distribution, Jefimenko’s equations require both the current and charge distribution. Thus, a discretization algorithm for the lightning channel engineering model is proposed. The simulation results show the accuracy of Jefimenko’s equation is relatively higher at large spatial discrete sizes. At the same time, the phenomenon of oscillation is observed in the electric field predicted by Uman’s formulas when using large discrete size.

摘要

This paper addressed the lightning-induced electromagnetic field issue. The relationship between Uman’s formulas and Jefimenko’s equation is derived. Unlike Uman’s formulas requiring only the pre-given current distribution, Jefimenko’s equations require both the current and charge distribution. Thus, a discretization algorithm for the lightning channel engineering model is proposed. The simulation results show the accuracy of Jefimenko’s equation is relatively higher at large spatial discrete sizes. At the same time, the phenomenon of oscillation is observed in the electric field predicted by Uman’s formulas when using large discrete size.
