Abstract

The puffer type GCB(gas circuit breaker) has been widely used in modern transmission power system. Understanding the motion of cold $SF_6$ gas flow is essential for the better design of those GCB's. For this purpose, a program using the so-called FLIC(Fluid-In-Cell) method has been developed and applied to a puffer type GCB. The calculated results are compared with those from the measurement and the computation by commercial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) package 'RAMPANT' and show fairly good agreement.
