A mathematical model for the transient electrohydrodynamic (EHD) motion in liquid dielectrics is used to examine the behaviour of dielectric fluids flowing at various velocities between high-voltage electrodes. The resulting flow patterns and space charge distribution profiles are correlated with observed variations in transformer-oil breakdown properties, and explanations for these variations are proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
