The current sources in power transformers such as leads and windings are also sources of Eddy current losses. Due to these losses some parts of tank wall are subject to serious local overheating. It affects the safety and reliability of these expensive objects and their power delivery. There are various methods for reduction of these eddy current losses. One of them is the internal shielding of transformer tank wall. In this paper the tank eddy current losses reduction, through its shielding is determined. ©2009 IEEE  

The leads with heavy current passing through the covering plates, and the winding in a transformer, are sources of eddy current losses. Due to this loss some regions of tank wall are subject to serious local overheating. It affects the safety and reliability of this expensive object and power delivery. In this paper these eddy current losses are calculated through a new formulation by application of Finite Element Method, using FEMLAB software. These results are compared with measurement results and the computational results of two other methods: the Turowski method and a method based on application of EDMAG software. © 2008 Australasian Universities Power Engineering Conference (AUPEC'08)  

Sloshing, or liquid free surface oscillation, in containers has many important applications in a variety of engineering fields. The modal method can be used to solve linear sloshing problems and is the most efficient reduced order method that has been used during the previous decade. In the present article, the modal method is used to solve a nonlinear sloshing problem. The method is based on a potential flow solution that implements a two-phase analysis on sloshing in a rectangular container. According to this method, the solution to the mass conservation equation, with a nonpenetration condition at the tank walls, results in velocity potential expansion; this is similar to the mode shapes...
