3 Problem Statement During winter ice forms on electrical transmission lines, and due to the wind and increase in its weight, the lines with the electrical poles are likely to be pulled down causing heavy casualties. Every winter, power lines and communication towers collapse in freezing rain storms. " The glaze ice load on trees,wires,and structural members,combined with wind acting on the increased projected area, causes these failures. " Repair costs after a severe storm can be hundreds of millions of dollars, and electrical outages may deprive residents and businesses of heat,water,and power for extended periods. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
4 Problem Statement (Contd.) This was one of the major problems in the Ice Storm 98 of Montreal and other eastern parts of Canada. " 4 million people in freezing dark without heat and light because of destroyed electrical network " Other losses were millions of trees, 120,000 km of power lines, 130 major transmission towers and 30,000 electrical poles " To avoid such causalities, the ice formed should be melted as soon as it forms. A part of the ice melts because of the heat from transmission itself. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
5 Objective To develop mathematical model of Ice melting problem and approaches to measuring ice-accumulation. The design includes various factors by analyzing the boundaries between the different material regions and the heat transfer equations that govern the melting process. Ice melting is due to an applied fault current was developed. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM

8 Model! This model identifies four material regions around power lines and heat transfer equations were developed with appropriate Boundary Conditions in Cartesian coordinates.! Finally, a 2 dimensional cross-sectional model for melting ice on an electrical transmission line due to applied fault current was developed. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM

14 Complete Model To account for the convection need to know " the velocity field of macroscopic motion of the liquid " the velocity of the ice as a whole with respect to resting wire (see Figure). The equations for velocities are obtained from the momentum balance. Momentum of a small volume of the liquid leads to the Navier-Stokes equations T( 2)! c ( ) 2 + v, T ( 2 ) = α 2 T ( 2 ). t Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM

16 Initial Implementation Model! We do not consider the effects of gravity, convection and also the exterior climatic conditions.! Hence, the regions are shown in concentric circles rather than in ellipses. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
17 Governing Equations The governing are equations are: T() i Ci = α i T() i + Qi,... i = 1, 2,3 t Q 0 1 The Boundary Conditions are: Wire-Water Boundary Γ 12 a) T and heat flux are continuous T T b) (1) (2) α 1 = α 2 = 0 n n Water-Ice Γ 23 a) T1 = T2 = 0 (melting temperature) T(2) T(3) b) Stefan condition: α 2 α3 ( va( x), n) n = λ n Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM Here Ω 1 Ω 2 Ω 3 Ω 4 -- metal (electric wire) -- water melted off ice -- ice -- atmosphere
18 Governing Equations cont d v A where is the velocity of ice melting in the normal direction γ ( B) given by v x = n A( ) n where γ ( B) is a position of a point on water-ice boundary Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
19 Finite-Difference Equations The above equations are used to calculate the values of temperature in different regions Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
20 Variables Used in the Equations 1-wire 2-water 3-ice! C1, C2 and C3 are the specific heat values.! T is the Temperature! n =Number of time steps! t = ! α = ! Grid size=( x) = ( y) = 0.002! i, j are the axes, with i pointing upwards! Q1 = internal heat source in the wire; a constant! Q2 = Q3 = 0 Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
21 Implementation Details! Based on the mathematical model, Parabolic PDEs were subject to central differencing and transformed into Finite-Difference Equations (FDEs).! Cartesian coordinates were used and grid size of 1000 x 1000 was super-imposed onto the problem domain, such that the boundary of wire does not change with respect to time and each node of the grid is considered to be a computational node.! The values of temperature for different regions are calculated by solving these FDEs at each processor, until steady state is reached as t # infinity;! for example in the current project the time steps n #10 6. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
22 Implementation Details! Since the current model is a set of concentric circles, only one quadrant is considered for computation and analysis due to symmetricity.! This quadrant is distributed among four processors, each having 250 computational grid points in i and j direction individually.! Each processor computes the values of temperature in a SPMD (Single Program Multiple Data) manner.! Since there is a constant heat source in the wire (Q1), wire equations are not computed explicitly. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
23 Our Model P1 P2 P3 P4 4 x 4 grid Processors (P) Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
24 Computational Issues! One other focus of the overall project is addressing computational issues such as partitioning, load balancing and communication/ synchronization! Decomposition or Domain Decomposition is the process of integrating the equations on rectangular domains, such that data can be decomposed uniformly by assigning rectangular sub-domains to each processor.! Load Balancing is the process of ensuring equal load among all processors, so that each processor has enough work and they finish execution of a task at the same time.! Communication and Synchronization between the processors are necessary as each processor performs only a segment of the main task, individually. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
25 Computation Platform Beowulf is a class of parallel workstations, developed to evaluate and characterize the design space of single user dedicated systems in price and performance. Cluster of Workstations (COW) Beowulf Workstation Model Name Intel Pentium III CPU Model Name Pentium III (Katmai) CPU MHz CPU MHz Cache Size 256 KB Cache Size 512 KB Memory 526 MB Memory 526 MB Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
26 Several steps in the current study $Fluid Dynamics/Partial Differential Equations $ Basic ideas of fluid mechanics and differential equations $Physics of heat transfer issues and boundary conditions $ Implications of changing a boundary condition is quite large. Importance of BC as well as how these BC affect the physics of the problem is addressed in this step $Finite-Difference method $ Though simple this technique has its own intricacies for implementation to capture the physics. $Implementation issues $ The machine characteristics and assigning the evenly distributed load on individual processors were addressed. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
27 Discussions! The Finite Difference code is producing acceptable results in the coarser grid, which is computationally less challenging. Physics is not fully captured in the coarser grid.! A finer computational grid takes more than one million time steps, for steady state solutions.! Experiments are being performed on a Beowulf cluster (parallel computing system).! The overall execution time is expected to reduce significantly, when compared to the sequential code.! More results are being generated! Fine tuning the code to capture the physics is going to take much longer time. Dec.7-9, 2002 ICIWIM
