ABSTRACT

Modeling of electromagnetic phenomena resulting from released lightning voltage pulses at locations close to the return stroke as well as at any other space point (impacted area) has taken a variety of modes in theoretical research. Recently the author dealt in detail with such modeling where the conductive current of the return stroke is visualized as a solid cylindrical distribution and the convective current due to bound charges time variation is assumed to follow coaxial cylindrical distribution. Conventional methods based on the retarded propagation of inducing electromagnetic field effects at a space point had been used in the process of theoretical results modeling.
