Abstract: In this work, the ion flow field of a monopolar transmission line inside the corona cage of a square cross-section is iteratively calculated concerning the effects of wind. The electric field distribution is solved analytically using the charge simulation method (CSM). Meanwhile, the upwind finite volume method (UFVM) with 2nd order accuracy is presented for the distribution of space charge density. Additionally, a dual mesh grid is established in the calculation domain, the interlaced geometric construction of the mesh assures a quick and effective convergence rate. In the final part, a reduced-scaled experiment is designed to examine the feasibility and accuracy of this approach, electric field and ion current density on the bottom side are measured by field mills and Wilson plates. The data numerically computed fits well with that acquired by measurement.
