Research On Extended Finite Element Method For Axisymmetric Electrostatic Field Based On Liquid Nitrogen With Bubbles

In this paper, the extended finite element method (XFEM) is first applied to account for the weak discontinuity of the axisymmetric electrostatic field. Firstly, the interface between two materials in an element is described by the level set method. The enrichment function is used to modify the shape function of enrichment elements. Secondly, to illustrate the feature of the enrichment function, the distribution diagrams of enrichment functions in sub-elements are drawn. The 3D field can be simplified to an axisymmetric field, which can reduce the difficulty of calculation. Finally, models with bubbles in liquid nitrogen in the axisymmetric field are used to prove the reliability of XFEM. Compared with the conventional finite element method (CFEM), XFEM costs lower computing resources with almost the same computational accuracy.
