Abstract

In this work, an effective calculation method of the ion flow field that considers the impact of wind flow and water drops is presented. To be explicit, the nominal electric field is solved by the charge simulation method (CSM) whilst the space charge density is calculated adopting a second order upwind finite volume method. In addition, a method that determines the roughness factor of a conductor surface is used to enhance calculation accuracy. The influence of various properties of the water drops exerting on an ion flow field is analyzed. Eventually, a practical experiment is conducted to verify the calculated result, and the effectiveness and reliability of this method are then proved via comparing calculated and measured results.
