POTENTIAL DISTRIBUTION IN VICINITY OF TRANSMISSION LINE SUPPORT

Abstract

The paper examines a new approach to finite volume method which is used to calculate the electric field of spatially inhomogeneous three-dimensional environment. The Dirichlet problem is formulated and the computational grid is constructed on the base of space partition, which is known as Delaunay triangulation with the use of Voronoi cells. To calculate the potential and the electric field strength in the vicinity of the electric line support the numerical algorithm is proposed. We have developed the algorithm and the corresponding software using Matlab application. There are presented some numerical results of calculations of the distribution of potential and of the electric field strength.
