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 …

Electrical arcs and, more generally thermal plasmas, are widely used in many applications
and the understanding or the improvement of the corresponding processes or systems, often …

A number of technological processes and natural phenomena are accompanied by heat
transfer concerned with media thermal radiation. Generally, thermal radiation is thought to …

Abstract A three-dimensional (3D) argon arc plasma at atmospheric pressure is presented.
The model is developed using the commercial code Fluent. Two arc plasma configurations …

This paper reports the second part of the study of an electric arc and its interaction with the
anode material. First, a three-dimensional model is presented and validated in a natural …

A low current intensity study of a cutting plasma torch is presented. The operating gas is
oxygen discharging in an air environment. A two-dimensional turbulent plasma model is …

Three radiation models, the semi-empirical model based on net emission coefficients
(Zhang et al 1987 J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 20 386–79), the five-band P1 model (Eby et al …

The thermal plasma is widely used for power applications such as circuit breakers, welding,
cutting, material processing, waste treatment, and recycling. Transient and three …

A material response code is strongly coupled with a radiative transfer equation (RTE) to
evaluate the effect of a spectrally resolved heat flux on the thermal response of a heat shield …

An accurate and robust method for radiative heat transfer simulation for arc applications was
presented in the previous paper (part I). In this paper a self-consistent mathematical model …
