Um método para modelagem numérica plena da dispersão elétrica do solo usando aproximadores de padé e o método das diferenças finitas no domínio do tempo

Abstract

In this dissertation, it is developed and implemented a numerical method for modeling the soil electrical dispersion using the Finite-Dierence Time-Domain method (FDTD). The methodology is based on the application of Padé approximants in frequency domain, in such a way to represent the spectral dependency of soil's conductivity and electrical permittivity. The time domain equations are obtained using simple algebraic operations and inverse Fourier transforms. Experimental results for grounding systems subjected to articial lightning pulses are compared with numerical results obtained using the proposed method. It was observed an excellent agreement between the corresponding transient signals.
