Abstract
The composite materials have poor electrical conductivity and are not easy to conduct static charge, which can easily cause the accumulation of static charge. This makes composite fuel tanks have greater potential safety hazards from static electricity. Finite element simulation methods are used to study the electrostatic distribution of composite fuel tanks, and establishes a composite fuel tank model with beams, ribs and tubing. The electric potential and electric field strength are used to characterize the electrostatic distribution in the fuel tank, the finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics is used to simulate the composite fuel tank. The simulation results show that the composite has strong charge transfer ability, and the lap inside the fuel tank is very important to the accumulation of static electricity. The research results of this paper can provide data support and theoretical basis for the structural optimization and electrostatic discharge design of composite fuel tank, and form an analysis method of fuel tank electrostatic distribution and electrostatic protection by means of simulation.
