Abstract:
In order to analyze the interaction between electric field, temperature field and chemical reaction of combustion, and to accurately simulate the distribution of charged particles in the gap under the condition of vegetation flame, this paper establishes a DC gap multi-physical-field coupling model in which the strong coupling of chemical reaction under the condition of vegetation flame is taken into account. The key parameters of the model are set according to the results of vegetation burning test. The effects of different polarity voltages and electrode heights on the distribution characteristics of charged particles and the effects of charged particles on the background electric field are analyzed by using the model simulation. The results show that, under the test conditions, when the coefficient of the pyrolysis reaction equation of pine is modified to C

The increasement of the background electric field near the positive electrode is 70%~110%, and the increasement of the background electric field near the negative electrode is 40%~80%.
