  • 1. Institute of Mechanics, Academia Sinica, Beijing (China)

Description

In this work a mathematical flow model of the turbulent gas discharge is formulated for the numerical simulation of the flow field in the R.F. induction plasma torch. The velocity, temperature, and turbulent intensity distribution in all field of a torch for an argon plasma under atmospheric pressure and inlet Reynolds numbers 3016 and 5556 have been obtained. The influence of Reynolds numbers and swirl velocity on the flow fields are investigated. The electromagnetic field equations are solved using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The set of equation of variable are solved using a simpler algorithm. Calculations are made for an argon plasma at atmospheric pressure
