Abstract
Experimental charge and current measurements have recently been performed on an aircraft when it was exposed to the transient electromagnetic field of an electromagnetic-pulse (EMP) simulator. These new data allow a test of the predictive capabilities of the three-dimensional finite-difference method for realistic aircraft aircraftsimulator-test problems. Comparisons made between measurements and predictions show that the three-dimensional finite-difference technique provides reasonably accurate predictions for the induced currents and charges on a complex object responding to an applied transient electromagnetic field in the presence of a lossy earth.
