One method for the calculation of current density distribution in a finite number of long parallel conductors, having rectangular cross section, is proposed in this paper. Numerical results aim to highlight the importance of the skin effect, which can be combined with the proximity effect. The method of superposition of these two effects was applied to the calculation of the electromagnetic field in electric power busbars systems. It has been shown that the skin effect has a much greater impact, especially when the conductors are thin and strong electric currents flow through them, so special attention is paid to its calculation. For numerical solution the integral equations are used. The function of current density is approximated by the finite functional series. This way leads to a very accurate solution with only two terms. Differential evolution method is applied for minimization of error function. To demonstrate the application of the proposed approach, numerical values for busbars are presented and compared with values obtained by using the finite elements method.

Purpose This paper aims to present a new approach to the numerical solution of skin effect integral equations in cylindrical conductors. An approximate, but very simple and accurate method for calculating the current density distribution, skin-effect resistance and inductance, in pulse regime of cylindrical conductor, having a circular or rectangular cross-section, is considered. The differential evolution method is applied for minimization of error functional. Because of its application in the practice, the lightning impulse is observed. Direct and inverse fast Fourier transform is applied. Design/methodology/approach This method contributes to increasing of correctness and much faster convergence. As the electromagnetic field components depend on the current density derivation, the proposed method gives a very accurate solution not only for current density distribution and resistance but also for field components and for internal inductance coefficients. Distribution of current and electromagnetic field in bus-bars can be successfully determined if the proximity effect is included together with the skin effect in calculations. Findings The study shows the strong influence of direct lightning strikes on the distribution of electrical current in cables used in lightning protection systems. The current impulse causes an increase in the current density at all points of the cross-section of the conductor, and in particular the skin effect on the external periphery. Based on the data calculated by using the proposed method, it is possible to calculate the minimum dimensions of the conductors to prevent system failures. Research limitations/implications There are a number of approximations of lightning strike impulse in the literature. This is a limiting factor that affects the reliability and agreement between measured data with calculated values. Originality/value In contrast with other methods, the current density function is approximated by finite functional series, which automatically satisfy wave equation and existing boundary conditions. It is necessary to minimize the functional. This approach leads to a very accurate solution, even in the case when only two terms in current approximation are adopted.

Purpose: To ensure an adequate level of accuracy, it is rational to study the ponderomotor forces of the ring, which drive a hollow disk of variable thickness, hung on the ring. Design/methodology/approach: The solution of the motion problem of a hollow disk of variable thickness suspended on a force ring of rectangular cross section is based on the method of solving the equations of the theory of thermoelasticity. The stress-strain state, as well as the motion of the specified body of rotation, the disk, in studies in a cylindrical coordinate system, under the action of ponderomotor forces. Findings: The motion equation of a hollow disk hung on a force ring-torus is made, exact solutions of the motion equations of a ring in the torus form of rectangular cross section are found. New component expressions of ponderomotor forces, which appear from the action of the ring's own electromagnetic field and cause the motion of a hollow disk, have been found on the basis of Maxwell's equations. It is proved that at high speeds and low natural accelerations the stress - strain state of the disk material does not cause the destruction of the structure. Research limitations/implications: Calculations of ponderomorphic forces are valid for the ring, which drives a hollow disk of variable thickness, hung on the ring. Practical implications: It is proved that at high velocities and small natural accelerations the stress-strain state of the disk medium does not cause structural damage. It is determined that the rotation in the direction of movement at an angle of 90 degrees changes only the direction of the acceleration vector without increasing its value. Originality/value: The dependences between own time and coordinate time are formulated. It is proved that a small change in the natural time for the studied disk can significantly change the coordinate time, and the pulsed electromagnetic field provides the ability to cover infinitely large distances over finite periods of time.

The effects of torsion, aspect ratio and curvature on the flow in a helical pipe of rectangular cross- section are studied by introducing a non-orthogonal helical coordinate system. Spectral method is applied as main tool for numerical approach where Chebyshev polynomial is used. The numerical calculations are obtained by the iterative method. The calculations are carried out for 0≤ δ ≤0.02, 1≤ λ ≤ 2.85, 1≤ γ ≤2.4, at Dn = 50 & 100 respectively, where d is the non-dimensional curvature, l the torsion parameter, g the aspect ratio and  Dn the pressure driven parameter (Dean number).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jname.v4i2.991 Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Vol.4(2) 2007 p.99-110
