Abstract. In order to study the dynamic contamination characteristics of the bar insulator surface, the particle movement in flow field, the contact and adhesion stage between particles and insulator were simulated using coupled DEM and CFD methods. The van der Waals forces and liquid bridge force of adhesion were considered while the contamination stage is visual, then established the dynamic contamination model, proposed the polluting area rate and the adhesion rate to analyze the pollution situation influenced by the particle diameter, the wind speed and the coming angle. The research result shows that in a certain period of time, the polluting area rate is linear. The follow-up nature are better when the diameter is smaller than 20μm, then they primarily deposit on the lower surface through drag forces; Particles larger than 60μm, mainly deposited on the upper surface through gravity sedimentation; with the increasing of wind speed, the adhesion rate increases linearly. When the wind speed is 10m/s, the adhesion rate reached the maximum. When the wind speed is 10 m/s and up, the adhesion rate gradually decline, and the desorption will happen more seriously. When the coming angle is about 135 degree, the adhesion rate is maximum. With the change of the coming angle, the possibilities of secondary collision is increased which will increase the pollution of the lower surface.
