Lightning Return Stroke Current Analysis Using Electromagnetic Models and the 3D-FDTD Method

The three dimensions finite difference time domain method (3D-FDTD) is employed to calculate lightning return stoke current distributions in a vertical lightning channel. The latter is excited at its bottom by a lumped current source above a flat perfectly conducting ground. In this study four light...
