Ensuring the continuous operation of power transformers is pivotal in maintaining the reliability and safety of the power network. Hotspot temperature (HST) in windings is a key factor that indicates the health condition of a power transformer. To determine the temperature of the transformer windings, it is essential to obtain the temperature distribution inside the transformer. This paper introduces a high-fidelity multi-physics modeling and simulation framework focused on predicting the reliability of large power transformers. The methodology relies on the application of three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In particular, electromagnetic modeling and simulation using FEA are conducted to calculate transformer losses. Subsequently, a thermal-hydraulic model is established to determine the temperature distribution. More importantly, this is to identify the HST in the transformer windings, which is further utilized to determine the transformer lifetime. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis is carried out to evaluate how the properties of the cooling oil affect both temperature distribution and HST. Finally, experimental results are provided to confirm the multi-physics modeling and simulation results.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"10 ","pages":"304-314"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144597803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The observed diode-like rectification behavior has its physical origin to be an intrinsic property of in the nonlinear carrier transport partial differential equations with polarity-dependent coefficients in asymmetric geometries. While atomistic methods offer, in principle, high accuracy at the atomic scale, their computational cost renders them impractical for simulating devices with dimensions exceeding a few nanometers.

EPM composites consist of periodic microstructures composed of both soft and hard ferromagnetic materials (i.e., iron and permanent magnets). EPM composites possess unique ability to self-generate magnetic fields while adjusting them using external current, making them promising for use in electromechanical devices. However, direct numerical analysis of EPM composite structures requires huge computational costs, particularly in nonlinear ranges where electromechanical devices typically operate. This challenge can be alleviated through multiscale analysis using homogenization method. The developed homogenization model is constructed using the energy-based approach, assuming magnetic energy equivalence between heterogeneous and homogeneous media. Specifically, the effective B-H curve of EPM composite is computed by interpolating B-H pairs obtained by solving cell problems through finite element analysis. To validate the proposed homogenization model, three numerical examples including an actuator and a magnetic bearing, are investigated. In each example, the magnetic field distribution, magnetic energy, or magnetic force, along with computational time, of actual EPM heterogeneous structures are compared with those of equivalent structures having homogeneous effective B-H curve. These comparisons confirm the accuracy and computational efficiency of the developed numerical homogenization model.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"10 ","pages":"271-282"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144367021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel preconditioner, specifically targeted to improve the convergence rate of biconjugate gradient stabilized solver (BiCGSTAB), is derived and implemented in the Laguerre-FDTD method. Compared with the classical Jacobi preconditioner, the proposed preconditioner achieves on average an improvement of more than 1.3× in the convergence rate. To further leverage the computational efficiency, a modified sparse matrix-vector multiplication algorithm is proposed and implemented using a General-Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU). The new algorithm ensures that all computations are performed within the GPU, with minimum number of device-to-host data transfer and global memory access. With GPU's accelerated computing capability, the proposed solver achieves more than 5× computational speed up with respect to a high performance CPU-based direct solver on average. In addition, due to the intrinsic memory efficient nature of iterative solver, our approach also shows maximally more than 31× reduction in memory consumption against the direct solver.

Comparing with the expensive material approaches, changing the geometry of an object is a relatively flexible and low-cost way. However, the RCS optimization of large-scale models often faces two major problems: too large optimization space and slow RCS calculation, which caused by increasing geometry parameters and iterative numerical computation, respectively. In addition, secondary problems such as geometric information loss and RCS results lacking of gaurantees always remain even if dimensionality reduction has been carried out for alleviating these two problems. In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end differentiable RCS optimization framework based on the physical optics (PO) method. The proposed framework utilize the differentiability of the PO method, and realize an efficient and interpretable RCS optimization without dimension reduction. The innovation of this paper lies in the combination of PO method and gradient-based optimization to achieve RCS optimization of large-scale complex 3D geometries. Experiments show that in ordinary 2D scenarios, our method achieves at least 16 times higher efficiency than the mainstream optimization method. Meanwhile, the optimization error of RCS has been reduced by 75.29<inline-formula><tex-math>$%$</tex-math></inline-formula> compared to traditional methods (0.0515vs. 0.2084).

However, qubits are susceptible to noise generated from external magnetic fields. In this paper, we present a fast and accurate volume integral equation solver for analyzing local/nonlocal optical responses in quantum nano-electromagnetic gate circuitry. Due to small electric sizes of quantum circuitry, conventional volume integral equation (VIE) solvers suffer from both numerical difficulties and deteriorated accuracy since the underlying numerical system is highly ill-conditioned. To overcome this problem, we introduce a well-conditioned VIE formulation. We further accelerate the VIE solution by transforming the six-dimensional integral arising from the nonlocal constitutive relation to the spectral domain using fast Fourier transform (FFT). The same FFT is also applied to efficiently compute the convolution of Green's function with equivalent volumetric currents. The resultant fast and robust VIE solver has been applied to analyze large-scale 3-D quantum gate devices. Both local and nonlocal optical responses of the devices are captured accurately and efficiently.
