Abstract:
A numerical method to simulate air flow around a bundle conductor line by means of the FLUENT software is presented and verified by a wind tunnel test for aerodynamic characteristics of a twin bundle conductor line. The lift and drag coefficients of the leeward sub-conductor of a twin bundle conductor varying with its relative position in the wake zone to the windward one under different wind velocities are numerically determined by the presented method. A user-defined subroutine of ABAQUS software is developed to apply the aerodynamic loads on each sub-conductor and the electromagnetic force between sub-conductors. The numerical simulation method for wake-induced oscillation of a bundle conductor line is proposed. By means of the numerical method, wake-induced oscillation processes of twin bundle conductor transmission lines under different parameters, including current intensity, spacer layout, span length and wind velocity, are numerically simulated. Moreover, the effects of those parameters on the oscillation characteristics of the lines, such as vibration mode, frequency, amplitude and motion trace, are discussed. The results obtained provide a fundamental basis for the understanding of wake-induced oscillation behaviour of twin bundle conductor transmission lines and the development of control technique for wake-induced oscillation.

Conductors and Insulators
Most metals are conductors. Their atomic configuration is such that one or more electron(s) are loosely bound to the nucleus in each atom. Thus, a sea of mobile electrons are available in them, known as free electrons. Their easy...

Electric Field Inside a Conductor
Suppose a piece of metal is placed near a positive charge. The free electrons in the metal are attracted to the external positive charge and migrate freely toward that region. This region then...
Charging Conductors By Induction
Generally, conductors like metals do not allow any excess charge to be present on them. Any excess charge added to metals easily flows away, for example, when a metal is placed on the Earth. This process is called earthing.
However, conductors can be charged by a process called induction. For example, consider charging a...
