Considerable advances have been attained during the last decade in the theoretical and
experimental investigation of electrode phenomena in high-pressure arc discharges, in …

Collision-dominated plasmas (CDPs) possess unique features compared to traditional fluid
and collision-free plasmas that arise from frequent collisions among various species …

Arc plasma torches are the primary components of various industrial thermal plasma
processes involving plasma spraying, metal cutting and welding, thermal plasma CVD …

A novel non-equilibrium model has been developed to describe the interplay of heat and
mass transfer and electric and magnetic fields in a DC electric arc. A complete diffusion …

Thermal plasma flows provide a uniquely high specific enthalpy source that is well suited to
transformation of matter, often via phase changes. As a consequence, numerous thermal …

A two-temperature chemically non-equilibrium model describing in a self-consistent manner
the heat transfer, the plasma chemistry, the electric and magnetic field in a high-current free …

The paper gives an overview of the most common non-equilibrium approaches for modeling
of tungsten-inert gas arc plasma, which have been developed up to date, in particular two …

A model of a near-cathode region in high-pressure arc discharges is developed in the
framework of the hydrodynamic (diffusion) approximation. Governing equations are solved …

Abstract Analysis of the plasma parameters of a tungsten-inert gas microarc with a length of
0.4 mm is carried out by means of a unified one-dimensional model. The model solves the …

A 2D two-temperature chemical non-equilibrium model considering both cathode and anode
space-charge sheath is applied to investigate the plasma–electrode interaction in a laminar …
