Some numerical simulation results of the dynamic temperature distribution in dc plasma torch Thermoplasma 50-01

Abstract

© Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. A DC plasma torch "Thermoplasma 50-01" has been modeled and simulated by developing a 2D axisymmetric model of laminar flow and heat transfer coupled to electromagnetic fields. As a result of the numerical solution, the dynamics of the formation of the temperature field and the velocity field in the plasma torch channel and at its exit is presented. The numerical results of the gas temperature and axial velocity result to be quite satisfactory.
