ATLOG Modeling of Buried Cables from the November 2016 HERMES Electromagnetic Pulse Experiments

Warne, Larry K.; Campione, Salvatore; Yee, Benjamin T.; Cartwright, Keith C.; Basilio, Lorena I.

This report compares ATLOG modeling results for the response of a finite-length dissipative buried conductor interacting with a conducting ground to a measurement taken November 2016 at the High-Energy Radiation Megavolt Electron Source (HERMES) facility. We use the ATLOG frequency-domain method based on transmission line theory. Estimates of the impedance per unit length and admittance per unit length for a cable laying in a PVC pipe embedded in a concrete block are reported. Current wave shapes from both a single conductor and composite differential mode and antenna mode arrangements are close to those observed in the experiments. Intentionally Left Blank
