Abstract

Due to a nearby lightning return stroke, the coupled electromagnetic (EM) fields inside a rectangular shielding enclosure, on the finitely conducting ground, with an aperture in one wall are calculated numerically by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. First, the near fields generated by the return stroke are obtained in two-dimensional (2-D) cylindrical coordinates by the FDTD method. Then, the coupled fields inside a rectangular shielding enclosure are calculated in three-dimensional (3-D) rectangular coordinates through the total field-scattered field connecting boundary, with the sources obtained by coordinates transformations of the return stroke near fields
