1) The document describes a current simulation method to calculate grounding resistance (Rg) and earth surface potential for grounding grids buried in two-layer soil models.
2) The method simulates the actual electric field using discrete current sources placed outside the region where the field solution is desired. Values of the current sources are determined by satisfying boundary conditions at contour points.
3) For a two-layer soil model, additional fictitious current sources are used to simulate the dielectric interface between the two soil layers. Equations are formulated applying boundary conditions at electrode contour points and dielectric interface contour points.
4) The paper also discusses formulas to calculate apparent resistivity for a two-layer soil model
