[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of simulation of bubble movement in transformer oil, and in particular to a method and system for simulating bubble movement in transformer oil considering multi-physical field coupling. Background Art
[0002] During the long-term operation of the transformer, due to the occurrence of partial discharge, overheating and other faults, the transformer oil will crack and produce bubbles. This phenomenon not only affects the normal operation of the transformer, but more seriously may cause insulation breakdown, resulting in major safety hazards and economic losses. In terms of experimental research, current experimental research mainly uses the oil bubble injection method to observe the dynamic changes of bubbles, but this method is significantly different from the motion characteristics of suspended bubbles in oil-paper insulation under actual working conditions. In terms of simulation research, existing simulations mostly use a single physical field to study the movement of bubbles, but the formation and movement of bubbles involves a complex multi-physical field coupling process, including the interaction of electric fields, temperature fields, fluid dynamics and other aspects. However, the existing simulation method does not take into account the multi-physical field coupling effect, resulting in inaccurate simulation of bubble movement in transformer oil and other problems.

The exemplary embodiments of the present invention and their description are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0050] The present invention is a new method and system that can comprehensively consider the multi-physics field coupling effect and accurately simulate the bubble movement in transformer oil. The key point of the present invention is to construct a multi-physics field coupling model that considers the thermal field and comprehensively analyzes the bubble force, and to design a set of electric, thermal and flow comprehensive bubble movement observation system including near-infrared heating tubes.
[0051] The present invention is no longer limited to the consideration of a single physical field, but comprehensively simulates the complex physical process in the actual operating environment of the transformer. It can make the study of bubble movement closer to reality, greatly improving the accuracy and practicality of the analysis results. At the same time, this invention can also be applied to other fields involving multi-physical field coupling, such as the study of microscopic particle movement in the insulating medium of other power equipment. This invention has no technical means that can be circumvented or replaced.
[0052] The design conception process of the method of the present invention is:
[0053] (1) The energy equation is integrated into the mass conservation and momentum conservation equations to obtain a multi-physics model that takes into account the coupling of electric field, thermal field and flow field (Formulas (1), (2), (3), (4), (5)). This basic model describes the basic behavior of the fluid, including continuity, momentum transfer and energy transfer.
[0054] (2) In order to more accurately describe the complex turbulence effects, the k-ε turbulence model (Formulas (6) and (7)) is introduced on the basis of Formulas (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5). This expands the basic equations and adds the description of the turbulent kinetic energy k and the turbulent dissipation rate ε, so that the model can better simulate the turbulent characteristics in high Reynolds number flows.
[0055] (3) In order to more accurately describe the dynamic behavior of the gas-liquid interface, especially to deal with complex interface topological changes (such as the splitting and merging of bubbles), the phase field method (Equations (16) to (19)) is introduced (in fact, a variable φ and an equation (18) are added). The phase field method provides a continuous method to describe the evolution of the interface by introducing φ and equation (18), enabling the model to better capture complex physical phenomena.
[0056] (4) In order to fully consider the various forces that affect the motion of the bubble, equations (8) to (15) are introduced as source terms of the above equations ((1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (18), a total of 8 equations and 8 unknowns: pressure, temperature, velocity, energy, density, k and ε, phase field variable φ). These equations describe the various forces acting on the bubble.
[0057] Example 1
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention considers a method for simulating bubble movement in transformer oil with multi-physical field coupling, and the method comprises:
[0059] Step 1: Integrate the energy equation into the mass conservation and momentum conservation equations to construct a multi-physics model that considers the coupling of electric field, thermal field and flow field;
[0060] This is because transformer oil faces complex interactions of multiple physical fields in actual operation, including electric field, thermal field and flow field. Therefore, it is necessary to study the movement law of bubbles in oil based on a multi-physics field model that couples the three fields of electricity, heat and flow.
[0061] Specifically, the oil flow in large transformers can be described by turbulence models, and transformer oil can generally be regarded as an incompressible fluid. Transformer oil satisfies the three laws of conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy during the flow process. That is, based on the existing technology, the energy equation is integrated into the mass conservation and momentum conservation equations, and the expression of the multi-physics field model is obtained as follows:
[0062]
[0063] Where ρ is the fluid density; t is the time; v is the velocity; p is the pressure; μ is the fluid dynamic viscosity; g is the gravitational acceleration; F is the volume force (buoyancy, electromagnetic force, etc.); E is the total energy; kef f is the effective thermal conductivity; T is the temperature; Sh is the volume heat source;
[0064] In addition, the solution model contains the gas state equation and the liquid state equation, which are as follows:
[0065] P=ρRT(4)
[0066]
[0067] Where R is the molar gas constant; ρ 0 is the liquid density at the reference pressure; n is the density index; κ is the bulk modulus under pressure; κ0 is the bulk modulus at the reference pressure; is the differential operator;
[0068] Step 2, introducing a k-ε turbulence model into the multi-physics field model to obtain a first optimized multi-physics field model; the k-ε turbulence model is an oil flow model in a large transformer;
[0069] Specifically, the expression of the k-ε turbulence model is:
[0070]
[0071] Where: ρ is the fluid density; t is the time; G k , G b are the average velocity gradient and the turbulent kinetic energy generated by the buoyancy effect; Y M represents the effect of compressible turbulent pulsation expansion on the total dissipation rate; μt is the turbulent viscosity coefficient; C 1ε , C 2ε , C 3ε is the default value constant; the turbulent Prandtl number of turbulent kinetic energy k and dissipation rate ε is σk=1.0, σ ε =1.3;x i (i=1,2,3) represents three directions x, y, and z; μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid.
[0072] Step 3, introducing the phase field method into the first optimized multi-physics field model to obtain a second optimized multi-physics field model;
[0073] The above model contains gas and liquid phases and belongs to a two-phase flow model. This technical solution adopts the phase field method to solve it, and uses φ∈[-1,1] to define the properties of two immiscible fluids, where φ=1 is defined as fluid A in the two-phase flow, and φ=-1 is defined as fluid B. At the fluid interface, the function φ transitions from 1 to -1. Then, in any volume unit of the two-phase flow, the volume fractions VA and VB of the A and B phases satisfy:
[0074]
[0075] The dielectric constant ε, density ρ, and dynamic viscosity μ of the AB two-phase interface can be calculated by the following formula:
[0076]
[0077] In phase field analysis, the Cahn-Hilliard equation is usually introduced to track the changes in the interface. Considering the effects of interface mobility and chemical potential, the Cahn-Hilliard equation can be expressed as follows:
[0078]
[0079] Where: γ is the interface mobility; G is the chemical potential; δ is the interface capillary thickness.
[0080] Step 4, introducing various forces of bubble motion into the second optimized multi-physics field model to obtain a third optimized multi-physics field model;
[0081] Bubbles in oil are affected by multiple forces during their movement, including electric field force, buoyancy, surface tension, gravity, resistance, drag force and oil flow drag force. Electric field force and surface tension cause bubble deformation, while buoyancy, gravity, resistance, drag force and oil flow drag force cause bubbles to move.
[0082] The expression of the electric field force is:
[0083]
[0084] T m is the Maxwell stress tensor. In the electrostatic field solution, T m It can be expressed by the electric field strength E and the electric displacement vector D:
[0085]
[0086] The buoyancy expression is:
[0087] FVBρg(10)
[0088] The resistance expression is:
[0089]
[0090] The expression of surface tension is:
[0091]
[0092] The gravity expression is:
[0093] FeVBρ1g(13) The oil flow drag force expression is:
[0094] The drag force expression of FP / v(14) is:
[0095] F=AS(15)
[0096] Where: V b is the bubble volume; φ is the electric potential; r s is the contact radius; C D is the resistance coefficient; ρ 1 is the air density; ks t is the curvature of the gas-liquid interface; σ is the bubble surface tension coefficient; A is the drag coefficient; S is the wake area; P is the external oil pump power. D Related to the shape of an object and its surface characteristics.
[0097] Step 5, solving the parameters of the third optimized multi-physics field model to obtain the bubble movement process in the transformer oil.
[0098] In this embodiment, the most commonly used solution method for the complex multi-physics field coupling problem of multiple equations and multiple variables in the model is to use the finite element method or finite volume method of commercial software to solve the parameters, thereby simulating the movement process of bubbles in transformer oil.
[0099] The present invention realizes a comprehensive and accurate simulation of bubble movement in transformer oil by constructing a multi-physics field model that considers the coupling of electric field, thermal field and flow field. The energy equation is added when solving the fluid movement, and the various forces on the bubble are comprehensively analyzed, including electric field force, buoyancy, resistance, surface tension, gravity, oil flow drag force and drag force, etc. This method of comprehensively considering the coupling effect of multiple physical fields makes the theoretical analysis of bubble movement closer to the actual situation and significantly improves the accuracy and practicality of the simulation.
