An introduction to the main methods used to produce, model and measure thermal plasmas
is provided, with emphasis on the differences between thermal plasmas and other types of …

This article presents a discussion of the ideas for modelling turbulent thermal plasma flows,
reviewing the challenges, efforts, and state-of-the-art simulations. Demonstrative simulations …

This article is devoted to the calculation of the net emission coefficient (NEC) of Ar–Al, Ar–Fe
and Ar–Cu mixtures at atmospheric pressure for arc welding processes. The results are …

A 2D computational model of the mixing of multiple metal vapours into a helium arc in gas
tungsten arc welding of stainless steel is presented. The combined diffusion coefficient …

Metal vapour emanating from the weld pool during tungsten-inert-gas (TIG) welding affects
the arc welding process. To understand the transport mechanisms of metal vapour in a TIG …

Argon–helium mixtures in gas tungsten arc welding of an iron workpiece are investigated
using an axisymmetric computational model that includes the cathode, workpiece, and arc …

This work expands findings about the dominant heat transfer mechanisms in argon and
helium arcs at atmospheric pressure for monoatomic (Ar, He, 50% Ar–50% He), diatomic …

In this work, a plasma arc welding process with constant current in the range 25–70 A
operating in pure Ar is characterized by means of both thermo-fluid-dynamic modelling …

The work is concerned with the effect of a spatially fluctuating heating of Al2O3 particles with
diameters of 5–120 μm during a plasma spray process. A plasma jet is generated in a …
