Numerical solution of the corona discharge problem based on mesh redefinition and test for a charge injection law
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a numerical and experimental study of corona discharge for a blade -plate configuration. Finite element method (FEM) is used to determine the electric potential between the electrodes and charge conservation equation is solved by the method of characteristics (MOC) to determine the charge density. The structured mesh is redefined at each step of the iterative scheme, the nodes of this structured mesh being the intersection points of the field and equipotential lines. The algorithm is applied for a simplified injection law at the blade. The numerical solutions give results which compare very favourably with experimental measurements of the characteristic curves I-V and of the current density distribution on

A fast and simple method for modeling of oil swelling in Co2 injection
In this paper, the role of molecular diffusion in mobilization of waterflood residual oil is examined. A moving mesh method is applied to solve the moving interface problem of residual oil blobs swelling by Co2 diffusion through a blocking water phase. The results of this modeling are compared with experimental results of a 2D glass micromodel experiment. Although, the solution method is applie...

متن کاملPrediction of Service Life in Concrete Structures based on Diffusion Model in a Marine Environment using Mesh Free, FEM and FDM Approaches
Chloride-induced corrosion is a key factor in the premature corrosion of concrete structures exposed to a marine environment. Fick's second law of diffusion is the dominant equation to model diffusion of chloride ions. This equation is traditionally solved by Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Difference Method (FDM). Although these methods are robust and efficient, they may face some numer...

Bulk carriers have an important role in international maritime transport. In this paper, we carried out a numerical study on a model of bulk carrier vessel and calculated total resistance of the model. A model of a bulk carrier vessel with length of 2.76 m, breadth of 0.403 m and draught of 0.173 m was selected for numerical modeling. Numerical work was done by commercial CFD software ANSY...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Electro-thermo-convection in a Differentially Heated Cavity Filled with a Dielectric Liquid Subjected to Partial Unipolar Injection
The Coulomb force applied by an electric field on any charge present in a dielectric liquid may cause fluid motion. At high applied electric fields in an insulating liquid, electric charge carriers are created at metallic/liquid interfaces, a process referred to as ion injection, and result from electrochemical reactions. In this article we deals with the problem of electro thermal convection i...
