Characteristics and Control of High Current Vacuum Arc Deflection Under the Impact of Lateral Magnetic Field by Jingjing Li, Xinyu Zhu, Yiping Jiang, Xu Peng, Qihan Li, Xiaolong Huang

“…The distribution results show that, under the influence of the lateral magnetic field generated by the external busbars, the lateral magnetic field in the arc region is severely asymmetric. This asymmetry leads to a shift in the distribution of typical plasma parameters of high-current vacuum arcs, resulting in localized increases in anode temperature, which is detrimental to the interruption of vacuum circuit breakers. …”

Investigation on Nonlinear Flow Behavior through Rock Rough Fractures Based on Experiments and Proposed 3-Dimensional Numerical Simulation by Xianshan Liu, Man Li, Nandou Zeng, Tao Li

“…Based on the scanning cloud data of different rough fractures, the fractures were reconstructed and introduced into the COMSOL Multiphysics software; a 3-dimensional seepage model for rough fractures was calibrated and simulated the seepage process and corresponding pressure distribution, and explained the asymmetry of flow velocity. And also, the seepage characteristics were researched considering aperture variation of different sample fractures; the results indicated that increasing aperture for same fracture decreased the relative roughness, the fitting coefficients by Forchheimer formula based on the data ∇P~Q decreased, and the figures about the coefficients and corresponding aperture described nonlinear condition of the above rough fractures. …”
