Modeling two-layer medium for cable simulations
Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to simulate a buried submarine cable, and I wonder if I could considered a medium with two layers, such as sea water and seabed. Could you, please, help me in this topic?
Thanks in advance for you attention.
Yours sincerely,
Marcelo Tomim

In PSCAD, you represent the surrounding medium of the cable with its resistivity. Therefore you can chose only one value of resistivity i.e. of seabed or sea water. However, if part of your cable is beneath seabed and a part in sea water, you can break your line into sections and select the resistivity of each section seperately.
