Simulation of Electric Field Distribution in Concrete of Pulse Electro-Osmosis Technology Based on ANSYS Software

Abstract:

Simulated electric field distribution in concrete by using of ANSYS finite element analysis software, researched influences of some factors on electric field strength and electric potential in concrete. Which include resistivity of cement soil and its electric field strength are inversely proportional and the electric potential distribution is less affected by resistivity changes, applied voltage is proportional to electric field strength and potential, the more the number of cathode induces the greater and uniform of the strength, electric field distribution within cement soil becomes sparse and its values are relatively smaller with the anode spacing increasing, electric field strength of cement-soil is more intensive and its distribution is more uniform and also its values is relatively larger with the decreasing of cathode spacing.
