Effect of electric field on movement of conducting particles in single phase GIB

Abstract

Usually, the electric field can be determined for a simple physical system using analytical method in a GIB. But for a complex system, it is very complicated to find out and so, numerical methods like FDM, FEM, CSM are employed. Movement pattern i.epeak radial movement simulation done for Al and Cu particles for field calculation using CSM for levels of voltages namely 75kV, 100kV, 132kV, 145kV, in a 1-ϕ GIB.For Simulating Aluminium and Copper particles movement, peak radial and axial movements needs thorough particle dynamics understanding. Simulation is done by taking into accountmany forces like drag, gravitational and the forces of electrostatic in nature on particle and a mathematical modelling was done. Detailed analysis was made, and, in this paper, all the results of simulation are shown.
