Tóm tắt

The widespread application of electric arcs is closely related to the continuous research interest over the course of many years. The present survey is concerned with chemical and excitation nonequilibrium in atmospheric pressure argon plasma generated between a sharpened tungsten cathode and a flat copper anode at current levels of 35–200 A. Advanced fully nonequilibrium modelling is applied to simulate the combination of the wall-confined arc plasma column and the open region in front of the anode in a self-consistent manner in order to pay tribute to the tremendous research work that E. Pfender has done. The new modelling results are presented along with experimental and modelling results of the studies of E. Pfender and his group and other works of relevance.
