Abstract
Based on the method of fictitious sources an algorithm for solution of boundary-value problem for the capacity of the electric field of cathodic protection of underground pipeline with damaged insulation is proposed. Examples of numerical results obtained based on real data conditions are provided. Analysis of the results confirms the effectiveness, stability and versatility of the developed algorithm.
