Project Objective
● To simulate the models of Helical Flux Compression
Generator in coordination with experimental work
done at TBRL, Chandigarh.
● To suggest performance improvement through
optimizing design parameters.
Simulation of HFCG
● Advantages
○ Design of System
○ Optimization of Performance
○ Understanding of Physical Processes
○ Reduction of losses
○ Reduce actual trials
Simulation of HFCG
● Existing Techniques ● Challenges
○ Circuit simulation approach ○ Mapping Code to baseline
■ Based on PSPICE, CAGEN design and inclusion of
etc. heuristic factors
○ Using MHD Codes ○ Model magnetic diffusion
■ Most popular 2D and resulting skin effect
filamentary Codes ○ Model proximity effect
○ Using Analytical ○ Model resistance taking
Expressions into account heating of
■ Also called ZeroD conductors
Code
Methodology
● Simulation of HFCG was carried out with two techniques:
the Zero-D code or the analytical expression technique and
the 2D filamentary MHD code.
○ Zero-D code or the analytical expression technique uses
analytical expressions for generator inductance. The modeling of
resistive losses takes into account the heating of conductors and
diffusion of the magnetic field, resulting skin effect and proximity
effect. The advantage of this model is that it could easily be
extended to multi-pitch configurations of HFCG. This model was
implemented in MATLAB-Simulink.
○ 2D filamentary MHD code method results in a system of
differential equations which are time-variant. Once the state
equations are derived, these are solved using the method of
dynamic matrices. The code was implemented in MATLAB.
Outcomes
● The project resulted in development of reasonably
accurate models of HFCG and hence reduced the
time and material resources engaged in
experimentation
● It helped the scientists in developing understanding
of the physical processes of HFCG through better
simulation models and visualizations of results.
Future Plan
● For 3D simulation of HFCGs the available
multiphysics simulation softwares have limitations.
● A 3D simulation code using Arbitrary Lagrangian
Eularian (ALE) techniques is a possible alternative
● ALE3D-MHD can provide useful insights into the
generator operation that are otherwise unattainable
from the experiment.
