Thermal Simulation of a Conductive Fabric Sheet Subjected to a Lightning-like Current

摘要

A sample of electroconductive fabric subjected toa lightning-like current impulse is analyzed in this contribution.A multiphysics simulation is used to calculate the temperaturedistribution produced by a lightning-like current flowingthrough the material sample. A decoupled, electromagnetic(EM) and thermal, simulation was conducted for the analysisand is explained in the paper. The scaling factor calculation torepresent the energy presented during current impulse tests isalso detailed. Numerical results present patterns that agree withexperimental tests reported in the literature and represent anadditional tool for the phenomena insight.
