Numerical Investigation on Influence of Electric Field Distribution on Energy Deposition Structure in Wire Electrical Explosion in Vacuum

Numerical investigation was carried out on the influence of electric field distribution on energy deposition structure in wire electrical explosion in vacuum. The MHD simulation model named ZEUS-EW-PE, which can simulate the evolution process of inhomogeneous energy deposition, was used to simulate the wire electrical explosion evolution process under different electric field distributions. The numerical simulation results showed that the structure and distribution of explosion products and deposition energy are quite different under different electric field distributions. The evolution process of wire electrical explosion under different electric field distributions was analyzed in depth. In addition, the influence of electric field distribution on the deposition energy structure of wire electrical explosion was further analyzed and discussed. This study provides some help for a better understanding of the evolution process of wire explosion.
