TIG焊流动、传热及界面跟踪动网格数值模拟

基于磁流体力学(magnetohydrodynamics,MHD)模型,采用动网格技术(dynamic mesh method,DMM)跟踪电弧-熔池界面,建立了钨极惰性气体(tungsten insert gas,TIG)保护焊过程耦合流动、传热、凝固熔化及动网格界面跟踪的数学模型.首先计算自由燃弧,得到了准确的弧区速度、温度及压力等参数.然后分别验证了熔池内电磁力、热浮力、等离子流曳力和Marangoni力4个驱动力.考虑上述电弧-熔池相互作用,基于压力的动态平衡跟踪界面,计算了304不锈钢TIG焊过程,得到了等离子体冲击造成的熔池中央下凹及边缘上凸现象.结果表明,本模型可以得到更准确的界面及熔池形状.     

2-D viscous magnetohydrodynamics simulation of plasma armatures with the CE/SE method

A possible two-dimensional viscous magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model is applied to investigating the plasma armature in a railgun. The space-time conservation element and solution element (CE/SE) method for solving the coupled Navier-Stokes equations and Maxwell equations was devised. The distributions of physical parameters of the plasma may thus be evaluated. The results show that extremely high pressure can always be observed ahead of the projectile, and the Lorentz force is the main propulsion. The distribution of temperature is in a good agreement with the results predicted by the law of radiation at the boundaries. Due to convection, the circulation patterns of velocity are evident in both the cases considering inviscid and viscous effect. Furthermore, the velocity and acceleration oscillate over time until a new steady state is achieved. This model efficiently captures the salient features of the physical phenomena, and contributes to further studies of MHD problems in plasma armature.

基于Comsol Multiphysics的新型高压直流继电器电弧仿真分析

传统直流电磁继电器采用电磁驱动方式，分断间距为2~3 mm，在工作负载增大时需增加线圈匝数，导致继电器质量增加、灭弧难度增大。为解决上述问题，采用微电机蜗轮蜗杆作为驱动机构、分断间距相比传统电磁继电器大数倍的新型高压直流继电器设计方案，并利用多物理场耦合软件Comsol Multiphysics，基于磁流体动力学（MHD）理论建立了直流继电器的二维电弧仿真模型。考虑到分断间距、电流、磁场强度以及分断速度等条件对电弧的影响，分析了不同上述条件下电弧的运动特性，得到了适定参数下较为合理的间距、工作电流、磁场强度和分断速度，为新型高压直流继电器灭弧系统的结构设计提供参考。     

Pseudo-reconnection in MHD numerical simulation

A class of pseudo-reconnections caused by a shifted mesh in magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations is reported. In terms of this mesh system, some non-physical results may be obtained in certain circumstances, e.g. magnetic reconnection occurs without resistivity. After comparison, another kind of mesh is strongly recommended.
