Cold Flow Simulation of $SF_{6}$ Puffer Circuit Breaker

Numerical schemes for the simulation of the cold gas flow in the SF6 puffer type circuit breaker is presented. The governing equation is axisymmetric compressible Euler Equation and FVM is used to analyze the behavior of flow. The upwind scheme is used to avoid numerical instability and MUSCL is used to obtain high order accuracy. For the efficient calculation, AF-ADI scheme is used. The simulation result shows good agreement with the experimental data.
