The increase in production and consumption of goods has generated a surplus of waste,
which destination is commonly the landfilling sites. This represents a major bottleneck in the …

Dynamic processes in a gliding arc plasma generated between two diverging electrodes in
ambient air driven by 31.25 kHz AC voltage were investigated using spatially and temporally …

There is a complex nonlinear dynamic coupling and multi-physical damage between
lightning channel and composite material. This paper aims to study the coupling mechanism …

Lightning damage of carbon fiber/epoxy composite material results from multi-physics
coupling effects including electricity, magnetism, heat and force, etc. Physical behaviors of …

We present, in this paper, the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modeling of a three-phase
plasma torch. The MHD equations are solved using CFD software Code Saturne®, a …

A model of near-cathode layers in vacuum arcs is developed. The model relies on a
numerical solution of the problem of near-cathode space-charge sheath with ionization of …

Electrical characteristics of a 1 cm-long free-burning atmospheric-pressure argon arc are
calculated by means of a model taking into account the existence of a near-cathode space …

Arc behavior in 3-Phase AC plasma technology remains poorly explored. This system
noticeably differs from the classical DC plasma torches and aims to overcome certain …

Calculation of thermodynamic and transport properties of CO 2/N 2/O 2/Ar system (Martian
atmosphere) have been performed in a wide pressure (0.01–100 bar) and temperature …

The restrike mode is an important arc anode attachment mode under the cross flow in DC
arc device, which often causes a large amplitude of arc voltage fluctuations and therefore …
