The Numerical Simulation of Iced Conductor and Research of Influencing Factors

Abstract:

In order to study the influence of some key factors such as the turbulence intensity related to micro topography and the diameter of conductor to the aerodynamic characteristics of iced conductor , the model is built based on the characteristic of iced conductor with crescent type ,to simulate the aerodynamic parameters for it and compare with the wind tunnel tests .The results show that we can make supplement reference to the wind tunnel tests through the numerical simulation method. Besides , we adjust the model and make research for the influence of diameter of conductor. The aerodynamic parameters we get can provide some reference to the research of galloping conductor.
