Simulation geometry 2000 V 24 μ insulation Conductor thickness is 1 μ Pore length is 480 μ (20:1) Background ε=4, inside the pore ε=1. Shell conductivity - varies ground
results 127 MΩ resistance of a single pore Question: Is quoted number of 100 MΩ for a single pore or the whole assembly. How many pores are there? Streamlines – electric field. Color of the streamline corresponds to the magnitude of Ez. For a low conductivity (high resistance) pore does not change the direction of electric field much. z
Zoom in 127 MΩ Streamlines – electric field. Refraction of the field lines corresponds to the difference in dielectric constant of a substrate (ε=4) and the pore (air/vacuum)
Previous case with 1012 times lower resistance For an extremely high values of conductivity (low resistance = short) pore forces electric field to align Streamlines – electric field.
6 pores 127 MΩ each Streamlines – electric field.
