In the simulation of electromagnetic fields produced by a point source loca
ted in multilayer media, the conventional image method requires an infinite
number of images, while the method of complex images only needs a few ones
to get an accurate solution. Based on the method of complex images, an app
roach for simulating grounding systems in multilayer soils is introduced in
this paper, and the corresponding Green functions are derived. Software fo
r simulating grounding systems in up to six-layer soils has been developed,
and the grounding systems with any complicated structure can be located an
ywhere in multilayer earth models. Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Lt
