The development of computational fluid dynamics tools for thermal expansion type interrupter with the arc rotary

아크회전과 열팽창 방식을 적용한 소호부에 대한 아크유동 해석

This paper is concerned with the development of PC based computer simulation and design tools for auto-expansion SF6 circuit breaker with the arc rotary. The simulation model takes into account radiation transport, turbulence enhanced momentum. energy transport. The conversation gas dynamic equation together with Maxwells equations are solved. For the arc simulation the straightforward procedure has been used. The temperature, gas density and velocity space distributions within the circuit breaker are simulated in details. The presented results show that the computer simulation of gas flow in SF6 interrupter is a subject of much interest for design and optimization of contacts. The presented results show that the shape and sizes of contacts are chosen by this tool from judiciously compromise between electrical breakdown strength and interruption ability that are functions of gas flow parameters.
